00:00Meteorologist David Yeomans is here with the timeline and what we can expect,

00:03David. And this is after widespread tree damage in the city of Chicago and

00:07elsewhere last night. Tonight's storms could even look more populated on this

00:11map. Local storm reports show a tremendous amount of wind gusts,

00:15reports and wind damage last night. What you don't see plotted here yet. We

00:20just got word late this afternoon from the National Weather Service of a

00:23confirmed E F zero tornado out here in Elburn and two more E F zero weaker

00:29tornadoes on the south side. Those have not been plotted yet. We don't know

00:32the exact locations, but again, they were on the south side of Chicago and

00:36out in Elburn. Things are calm on the radar right now. Just a hot and humid

00:40day. But we have our first tornado warning now in eastern Iowa as this M

00:45C V. We call it mezzo scale convective vortex forms and races our way. This is

00:51going to interact with a tremendous amount of heat and humidity in the

00:54atmosphere. Storm energy is off the charts tonight, so this is going to

00:58translate to a pretty big severe weather event by anywhere's standards.

01:01Certainly here over the next several hours, not much happens. So your dinner

01:05plans are just a little sweaty. Your evening commute looks fine as well.

01:08Once we get toward eight p.m. No, here comes the main event, a solid line of

01:13incredibly strong thunderstorms racing into LaSalle and the Cal counties as

01:18early as eight after 9 10 p.m. These storms look at these purples and blacks.

01:23Those could be 80 to 85 mile per hour wind gusts and also have some embedded

01:29brief tornadoes anywhere on this line. Most likely in Chicago, about nine or

01:3310 o'clock as it looks right now. By 11 o'clock, the severe storm threat is

01:37highest in northwest Indiana. Then it races out of here. Later on tonight,

01:42we'll still have some rain and some rumbles of thunder as you're sleeping

01:45overnight like the past couple of nights. But the severe weather threat

01:48is really mainly from seven p.m. Until 11 p.m. Tonight. Not only are we

01:52concerned about widespread wind damage and serious tornadoes that could

01:55touch down in multiple areas, but also a rare flash flood threat rare because

02:00we're in the three out of four moderate shading that doesn't really happen very

02:05often around here unless a tropical system is involved. Speaking of

02:08tropics, this is the same flood threat that Houston had from Hurricane barrel

02:11and you saw how bad the flooding was and how widespread there last week. This is

02:16happening here because we could get several more inches of rain quickly

02:19tonight, but also mainly because we've had a half a foot of rain in some areas

02:23over the past several days, and this is only going to add to that waterlogged

02:26soil and cause flooding more quickly. So tonight be on the lookout for severe

02:30storms and heavy rain until about midnight tomorrow, though, looks

02:34finally a little calmer 86 not quite as hot as a northwest wind blows in mainly

02:39dry weather returns for the next couple days. Breezy winds ushering in cooler

02:43air as well. After a day in the nineties today, how about a high of 76

02:48and even cooler by the lake on Thursday plans this weekend, including

02:51the tacos and tamales festival in town. Always so much going on. Look great

02:56with temperatures in the lower eighties. In the meantime, Erica, of course, the

02:59first alert weather team will be here all evening and break into programming

03:03should the storms warranted. Yes, we know you will be on top of it, David.

03:06Thank you.
