Chicago Weather Alert: High winds traveling east

WE ARE HOPING THAT THE COOL AIR OFF OF LAKE MICHIGAN WOULD TAME THIS DOWN A BIT. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE CASE AT THE MOMENT. >> THESE THINGS ARE STUBBORN. COOK AND LAKE COUNTY, IN EFFECT UNTIL 2:30. WE STILL HAVE THE THREAT OF WIND FROM 50 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. LARGE HAIL. THAT HAS BEEN THE HISTORY OF THESE STORMS AND NOW THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE NORTH SHORE GETTING IN ON THAT HAIL ACTIVITY. THAT IS THE FIRST WARNING TO THE NORTH AND THEN AS YOU HEAD SOUTH INTO THE CITY OF CHICAGO AND

NOW DUPAGE COUNTY IS OUT OF THIS. IT IS JUST COOK COUNTY. THE CITY, REALLY RUNNING ALONG THE IKE, PLACES NORTH, THAT IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 2:30. THEY BROUGHT ON THE WIND SPEED, SO GUESTS BETWEEN 50 TO 60 MILES PER HOUR AS FAR AS THE HIGHEST GUSTS GO. WE ARE STARTING TO SEE THE WARNINGS PUSH OVER THE LAKE. THE STORMS THAT WERE WARNED. STILL WE HAVE THE LEFTOVER VARIETY CREATING THE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND THREAT. WE ALSO HAVE THIS CELL BACK TO THE WESTERN PART OF McHENRY COUNTY, MOVING INTO SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSIN. SO MOVEMENT NOW HAS BEEN

TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST. I JUST WANT TO WIDEN THIS OUT SO YOU CAN SEE HOW EVERYTHING IS STARTING TO PUSH ACROSS THE LAKE AND WHEN WE TAKE A TIGHTER LOOK ON RADAR, YOU CAN SEE THE CLUSTER OF LIGHTNING

BETWEEN WAUKEGAN AND CHICAGO. EVERYTHING MOVING EASTWARD TO THE LAKE, BUT THE WIND IS PRETTY STRONG AND THE WIND GUSTS OF BEEN IMPRESSIVE AS WELL. BUT THE WIND PATTERN OVERALL IS WHAT I WANT TO SHOW YOU WITH THIS SYSTEM. YES WE HAVE WIND NOW TO 35 MILES PER HOUR AT MIDWAY, GUSTING TO 24 AT WAUKEGAN. NOTICE THE

DIFFERENCE IN THE ARROWS TO THE SOUTH. WE HAVE MORE OF A SOUTHEASTERLY WIND COMPONENT. WHERE WE HAVE MILDER AIR SOUTH OF I-80. YOU SEE THE WIND FUNNELING IN, RIGHT AROUND HERE, ALONG I-88. THAT IS WHERE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS WHERE THAT INSTABILITY IS SET UP. TO THE NORTH OF THAT WE HAVE WIND OFF THE LAKE. THE WATER TEMPERATURE IS MUCH COOLER. 43 DEGREES, SO COOLER FOR THE NORTH SHORE AND WAUKEGAN AND KENOSHA AND WE ARE SEEING THAT COOL PUSH ME THE WARM AIR THAT
