Significant damage from the tornado that struck the East side of Streator, IL #ILwxn

[Rob Kercheval/ILST @ILStormTrackers]

My word. First time I've seen or heard of this!!

[Ryan Hall, Y’all @ryanhallyall]

I have never seen a tornado do this before.

Watch this incredibly rare, looping rope tornado stretch out over Illinois live on stream.

[Rob Kercheval/ILST @ILStormTrackers]

Wow crazy!

An outbreak of severe thunderstorms, including the potential for widespread damaging wind gusts over 80 mph and a few strong tornadoes is likely across portions of the Midwest today: https://t.co/ivtuIPRkPc

[Rob Kercheval/ILST @ILStormTrackers]

@RossyPrime All the above 🤨💁🏼‍♂️🤪🤣🤣

[BAM Weather @bam_weather]

We are growing concerned with the latest trends regarding severe storms THU PM. Wind gusts of 70-80 MPH, very large hail, and multiple strong tornadoes will be possible across N IL as a line of storms pushes from NW to SE late THU PM.

Stay up to date with storms tonight and tomorrow night with the BAM Weather app! https://t.co/Cn3aMsQf7W

[NWS Lincoln IL @NWSLincolnIL]

A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for parts of Illinois and Indiana until 10 PM CDT

Why? 🤬

[Max Velocity @MaxVelocityWX]

A big severe weather day is possible tomorrow across the Midwest for the second day in a row. Yet again we are talking about severe storms capable of significant wind gusts and tornadoes. Cities like Chicago, Des Moines and Milwaukee need to be on alert for potentially destructive storms.

This is a complicated forecast which hinges heavily on how storms the previous day and the early hours of Thursday behave and evolve. The ceiling for this event includes strong tornadoes and destructive straight-line winds, as well as large hail. The floor for this event is a strong line of storms still capable of significant winds and tornadoes, but much less widespread and powerful. Trends over the next 24 hours will be key.

More gusty storms with tornado potential are also possible across the mid-Atlantic, including cities like NYC, Philadelphia, DC and Pittsburg.

Just keep telling them to pull right up to them ice officers with their car !!

Funny how climate hysteria vanished the moment Big Corporations needed data centers.
All that panic about the planet… until AI profits were on the line.

[Ryan Hall, Y’all @ryanhallyall]

🌀 Chicago, Milwaukee, and Madison, you're in the crosshairs tomorrow.

A cluster of supercells should already be cranking by sunrise over Missouri, then bulk up into one organized complex that rolls through southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois by early afternoon. With a 60-80 kt jet overhead, the best shot at strong EF2+ tornadoes and 75+ mph winds is right in there.

This one ramps up fast in the morning, so don't sleep on it.

Here are our Key Messages for Wednesday (6/10).

[NWS Lincoln IL @NWSLincolnIL]

Today is likely to feature two separate rounds of severe weather, one mid to late afternoon, and the other in the evening. Thursday's outbreak will mainly be in the evening. Make sure you keep a close eye on the weather the next couple of days. #ILwx
