Thunderstorm warnings were issued for parts of the Chicago area Saturday morning with several towns experiencing heavy rainfall, high winds and flooding.
High winds and heavy rainfall were the primary threats of the initial storm, and nearly 150 homes were without power as of Saturday morning.
"The tornado threat has eased, though still severe winds moving through parts of Illinois along/east of I-57 and into northwest Indiana," the National Weather Service tweeted."The message ahead of these storms remains largely similar -- get inside, away from windows." Flooding was reported across the area, from underpasses in Oak Park to roadways in Hoffman Estates. Flooding also was reported on the Eisenhower Expressway, slowing traffic as cars eased through the water.
The threat for storms is expected to diminish across the area later Saturday morning and into the afternoon, but but chances for severe weather are possible again Saturday night into Sunday. High winds and heavy rain are again considered main threats, with the possibility of a tornado.This article tagged under:
