Another storm is moving southeast from Wisconsin, resulting in severe thunderstorm warnings for most of Winnebago County, part of Boone county and part of Livingston county, according to the NSW. As noted via Twitter, “damaging winds,” are the primary threat.
The storm is expected to hit the Chicago area around 5 p.m. this evening.
“It’s headed for the Chicago area, very possible it could create some severe weather here,” said a National Weather Service Chicago spokesperson.
The NSW will issue warnings should the storm remain severe as it approaches the Chicago area.
