High winds blew sheet metal off a billboard and knocked out power in Chicago on Saturday. No injuries have been reported, according to a Chicago Fire Department spokesman.
Water flowing from a drinking fountain is blown wildly as people move along the lakefront at Fullerton Avenue as high winds hit on Nov. 5, 2022.
A high wind warning for “much of the area” remains in effect until 7 p.m. though, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Brian Leatherwood.But winds will be ramping down a bit as the evening wears on. “Slowly, it’s just going to decrease,” Leatherwood said. Temperatures will only reach the upper 40s to low 50s overnight and into Sunday, cooler than what we’ve had recently, though the normal temperature for this time of year is around 38 degrees,” Leatherwood said.Chicagoland should then see “really pleasant conditions,” with dry weather and temperatures warming into the mid-60s, Yack said.Earlier, officials cautioned the winds may blow down trees and power lines, causing outages as well as making travel difficult for some vehicles.
The wind also knocked out power, according to ComEd spokesman John Schoen. “Currently we have about 32,000 customers without power,” Shoen said about 5:30 p.m., adding the bulk of those were in the city of Chicago and Maywood area.Power has already been restored to 124,000 customers, Schoen said. “The wind is always tricky, what it does to our lines and poles,” Shoen said. “It keeps blowing up and down all day.” ComEd crews will be working throughout the night to restore electricity.
