Stormy weather on the way...

We warned you this morning, didn't we? We knew this breezy, warm, sunny day was all a precursor to more tumultuous weather on the horizon. Indeed, the Storm Prediction Center at the National Weather Service has plastered a good chunk of Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin under a Tornado Watch through 8 p.m. tonight. As of now, Cook County is not included in the watch, but we expect that to change as the afternoon wears on and those storms barrel our way. Keep an eye out here and here for changing weather information.
