Tornado Watch Issued for Chicago Area
National Weather Service Issues Warning for Multiple Counties
The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch for several Chicago-area counties, warning residents to be prepared for potential severe weather. The watch is in effect until 8 p.m. and includes the counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, and Will.
Residents Urged to Take Precautions
The National Weather Service advises residents to take precautions during the tornado watch. These include:
- Seeking shelter in a basement or interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building.
- Staying away from windows and outside areas.
- Monitoring weather reports and following instructions from local officials.
The tornado watch comes as the Chicago area has been experiencing severe weather in recent weeks. Earlier this month, a tornado touched down in Oak Brook, causing damage to homes and businesses. Residents are urged to remain vigilant and be prepared for any potential tornado activity.
