A Tornado Watch has been issued for all Northern Illinois counties until 6pm this evening. This includes the counties of Jo Daviess, Stephenson, Carroll, Whiteside, Winnebago, Boone, McHenry, Ogle, Lee and DeKalb.
Noon Update: Storms are quickly developing to the southwest where skies have cleared some this morning. These are all forming along a cold front that will quickly move in by this afternoon. Storms will likely produce some gusty winds and hail but there may just be enough shear (or spin) in the atmosphere to get a few individual cells that could produce a quick tornado.

It's that temp gradient catching up with you!! lol. It's crazy to see dew point temps in the 60s this time of year. And with that strong front, there is plenty of lift. Stay safe northern and western Illinois. You could be in for some rocking and rolling!
