Two areas of concern exist with storms this evening. The threat for tornadoes and destructive winds is increasing over portions of the area, mainly near/south of an Ottawa to Joliet to southern Chicago line. Storms in southern LaSalle and Livingston Counties have had a history of producing tornadoes! Farther north and west multiple waves of thunderstorms may lead to flash flooding in addition to the potential for embedded damaging wind gusts. Have multiple ways to receive warning information! Seek shelter if a tornado warning is issued for your area!
