Strong winds possible in the wake of morning thunderstorms

Behind this morning's round of storms, we're now watching for the development of a wake low. This can lead to a quick surge in winds even after the storms move out and push to our south. 

For this, a Special Weather Statement has been issued for the highlighted counties until 12:30PM. These winds can be strong enough to blow around loose objects around, down small tree limbs, and could make travel, especially for high-profile vehicles - a bit more difficult at times. Use extra caution. 

On top of that, the National Weather Service placed Winnebago, Boone, Ogle, Lee, and DeKalb County under a Wind Advisory. 

This will be in place until 1PM this afternoon, mainly for the winds associated with the wake low.
