Thunderstorms, strong winds move through Chicago, suburbs

A hazardous weather outlook remained in effect for the Chicago area Tuesday night after thunderstorms accompanied by strong winds moved across the region.

The hazardous outlook, bringing gusty winds and showers, was issued in Cook County, as well as much of northern Illinois and parts of northwest Indiana through midnight, according to the National Weather Service.

A tornado watch had been in effect until 10 p.m. in Boone, DeKalb, LaSalle, Lee, Ogle and Winnebago counties.

“Showers and thunderstorms continue to slowly diminish in intensity. However, a few stronger storms remain possible” in the western suburbs, the weather service said.

The weather led the White Sox and Kansas City Royals game Tuesday to be postponed.

More rain showers were anticipated Wednesday morning, with yet another round of storms possible Thursday before a dry weekend, the weather service said.
