Monday Night Storm Update

2:52am Update: Severe T-Storm Warning for DeKalb, Lee, and Ogle Counties until 3:45am. Quarter-sized hail/60mph winds possible.


2:41am Update: Strong storms continue to roll through Ogle and DeKalb counties, with hail still possible in spots. As you take a look at the radar, areas in white are at greatest risk for seeing hail. 

2:24am Update: Storm Reports

Durand - Pea-sized hail (1:21am)

Pecatonica - Nickel-sized hail (1:33am)

Winnebago - Pea-sized hail/45mph wind gust (1:45am)

New Milford - Pea-sized hail (2:05am)

2:11am Update: LOT issues Severe Thunderstorm Warning [wind: 60 MPH, hail: 1.00 IN]  for  Boone, Cook, De Kalb, DuPage, Kane, McHenry [IL] till 3:00 AM CDT 

1:41am Update: LOT issues Severe Thunderstorm Warning [wind: 60 MPH, hail: 1.00 IN]  for  Ogle, Winnebago [IL] till 2:45 AM CDT

1:32am Update: No T-Storm Warning, but the NWS has issued a Special Weather Statement for storms moving towards Rockford. Half-inch hail and 50mph winds possible, just short of severe criteria.

1:20am Update: Storms are finally moving into the Stateline. Only one warning to speak of at the moment... that's in northeast Walworth County in Wisconsin. That lasts until 1:30am with 60mph winds the biggest concern.

Non-severe storms are currently in northern Winnebago County, heading southeast towards Rockford and should be rolling into town between 1:30am and 2:00am. Some small hail isn't out of the question, along with some gusty winds, although it doesn't look like we'll meet severe criteria.

There's also quite a bit of lightning associated with these storms, so even though they may not be severe, these storms will still pack a little punch... meaning BE CAREFUL!
