This is no joke. Now is the time to be prepared. Follow US National Weather Service Central Illinois and Meteorologist Chris Yates for updates.
The National Weather Service has a rare level 5 out of 6 risk for wind tonight.
This is the highest we’ve ever seen it in IL since starting this 10 years ago. This is a very rare probability.
This means there’s nearly a 3 in 4 chance of damaging winds tonight near/in your town. Very rare and shows how high of a ceiling this event has.
