A construction trailer in Hampshire was overturned by a high
wind gust injuring one person around 8pm Saturday night. That person was transported to the
hospital.
Also, baseball-size hail was reported in Huntley around 8pm. Check
out how intense the cell was as it approached S. McHenry and N. Kane
County. The pink and white colors indicates very high reflectivity and
indicates the formation of large hail. Another indicator of large hail
is a "hail spike" protruding from the cell (circled in red):

This
phenomenon occurs when the radar beam hits a very large object (such as
large hail) and sends the beam in a different direction, forming what
looks like a spike on the radar. - MT
