Here's another one, though this one looks to track more into central IL with a larger rain shield for Chicagoland. We're not out of the woods yet, the same pattern is expected to remain through the weekend with more t-storms, potential severe, and flooding. #ilwx

Here we go again... Another complex of severe thunderstorms is approaching Chicagoland. Same as yesterday, damaging winds and a brief tornado can't be ruled out. #ilwx #Chicago

MCS has organized a bit more as it enters the I-39 corridor. Expect 60-80 mph winds as it crosses through the metro over the next couple hrs. Can't rule out an embedded brief tornado. #ilwx #Chicago
