Severe storms capable of bringing strong tornadoes, large hail and gusty winds are expected in the Chicago area, but when will the storms begin and when will the biggest threats arrive?
The biggest threat for tornadoes sits south of Interstate 80 and extends into northwest Indiana, where several counties are now under a “moderate” risk for severe weather, a level four out of five. Such a high risk level is rarely seen in the Chicago area.
Several other counties are also under an “enhanced” risk of severe weather, which ranks as level three of five. The “enhanced” risk was also increased to include much of Cook County, according to the Storm Prediction Center.
“All weather hazards will be at play,” NBC 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Kevin Jeanes said.
The tornado threat is expected to last for several hours.
