Severe tstorm warning
A strong storm is blowing up and currently severe warned. 60-65 mph gusts with large hail. Over central Dupage and heading SE. Worth watching in the area. Northern burbs already having some storms and soon the city will see them too.

Enhanced severe threat tonight
The whole area is under an "Enhanced" threat of severe storms. The main storms will be through between 8pm and 2am but other storms ahead of and behind the main line are also possible. Damaging winds are the main threat but the whole area could also see 1-3" of rain, exacerbating the flooding in northern areas.
(I'm also out of town for a wedding so no more updates tonight even though this is one to watch.)

Severe tstorm watch
The whole area is under a severe thunderstorm watch until midnight. There is a line of very strong storms crossing from Minnesota and Iowa into to northern Illinois and current conditions there are rough. Gusts well above 70 mph have done damage to buildings and trees. These storms should weaken as they approach our area, but high winds and heavy rain with lightning are still possible as we get toward the 9pm-midnight range. More storms may develop and linger into tomorrow morning. There will also be off-and-on storms through Saturday.

Re: Tornado Watch
Tornado warning for a storm moving east of Rockford. Strong rotation on radar but unconfirmed tornado. That line will move across a line from Elgin to Buffalo Grove to Evanston from roughly 8:30 onward. Worth paying close attention to that one. Also a tornado warning across the state line in Wisconsin. Main severe/tornado threat remains north of I-88 and especially favors northern Cook into Lake.
A tornado watch was just issued for the entire city and almost all suburbs until midnight. Conditions ripened to our west and several damaging tornadoes have affected Iowa. That complex will come through the area from roughly 8:30 to midnight. The most favored areas will be north, especially near the WI line, but conditions overall are marginal. That said, severe storms and tornadoes are possible and these storms bear watching. (I will be on an airplane and unable to pay much attention.)
More storms will sporadically roam the area tomorrow (especially in the morning) and Friday before clearing out for most/all of the weekend. Temps will be seasonable with highs in the 80s.

Enhanced severe storm threat tomorrow (Saturday)
Another hot day today will yield to more overnight storms before another hot day builds on Saturday. The high temps on Saturday will likely approach or cross 90F in many places despite some lingering clouds and showers in the morning. Dewpoints will also be in muggy-territory – approaching 70F. And by late afternoon or early evening on Saturday and approaching cold front will bring a good chance for severe storms. We’re in the “Enhanced” region per SPC (see below) which is a strong indicator. I wouldn’t cancel any plans, and most of the daylight hours should be safe. By anything past 3-4pm deserves a close eye.

Severe storms
Severe thunderstorm watch for the entire area through 8pm. Temps and dew points are creating pretty explosive/unstable conditions and there are already warned storms near Rockford. One or two waves of localized but severe (damaging wind and hail) storms is possible.
