Oh wow, that warning is right over Joliet and is gonna go right across the southern Chicago suburbs. I really hope it doesn't produce, that could be a major problem.

It looks really tight on the velocities from the station it's on top of. Does anybody have the link for the TDWR radar stations near chicago international?

Confirmed tornado south of Burlington, Iowa.

Also a confirmed tornado near Carimona, MN.

Half-dollar sized hail at the NWS office in Romeoville.

Circulation has weakened somewhat, but if it cycles, wow what a populated area is going to be impacted

 

[warneagle]

Even if it doesn't produce a tornado, a severe storm going through an area that densely populated (almost 1.2M according to the NWS graphic) could cause a lot of hail and wind damage.
