A low-grade tornado touched down during the supercell storm that left thousands across Chicagoland without power, the National Weather Service confirmed.
The “very, very intense” storm stood out for its height, an estimated 60,000 to 65,000 feet, Doom said. “This storm was within the upper echelon of storm tops for mid-latitude, nontropical thunderstorms,” the National Weather Service wrote in a statement.
Utility crews work on downed power lines at Cermak Road and 21st Avenue in Broadview on June 14, 2022.Temperatures climb to 100 degrees at Midway as thousands still without powerMidway saw a temperature of 100 degrees Tuesday for the first time since 2012, the National Weather Service tweeted. The temperature at O’Hare International — where Chicago’s official weather records are kept — climbed to 98 degrees, the second highest recorded mark for June 14.
The heat wave will challenge more records Wednesday. The expected high of 95 degrees matches Chicago’s June 15 record. And yet, it will feel even hotter. Humidity could bring heat indexes — the way the body feels the heat — up to 105 degrees. Heat indices reached 108 degrees Tuesday.A cold front is set to bring Chicago relief, but it’ll bring storms first. Strong to severe storms are expected late tonight in north-central Illinois and the Chicago metro area, Doom said. The storm could bring thunder, heavy downpours and winds of 65 mph, the National Weather Service said.
Dangerous heat and humidity will continue for one more day today, with peak heat indices of 100 to over 105°F. Heat-related illnesses may develop in fewer than 30 minutes after strenuous outdoor activity. A cold front will bring relief later tonight.
