Chicago, IL – An alert from the National Weather Service in Chicago cautions residents along the I-39 corridor to prepare for a series of severe weather events. Beginning tonight, the forecast indicates scattered thunderstorms post-9 PM, which are expected to persist through Saturday morning. Particular attention is drawn to the likelihood of hail, especially in regions west of I-39, where the storms may intensify.
Meteorologists warn that these conditions are conducive to the formation of damaging hail, capable of affecting structures, vehicles, and open spaces. Local authorities recommend that residents have access to weather alerts and prioritize safety by moving indoors at the first indication of thunder. Drivers are also advised to exercise increased caution on the roads due to potential decreased visibility and hazardous conditions from the storm.
In the upcoming days, the Chicagoland area should anticipate successive waves of showers and thunderstorms, particularly around Easter Sunday. The public is urged to stay informed on the latest weather updates and adhere to the advice of the National Weather Service as this dynamic weather pattern unfolds.
