Chicago, United States - July 15, 2024

A severe thunderstorm warning was issued for Newton, Jasper, Lake, and Porter counties in Indiana until 1:15 a.m. as storms move through the Chicago area.

A tornado warning was issued briefly for downtown Chicago and other central areas late Sunday night as a round of dangerous storms pounded their way through the area - taking down trees and leaving floods in the process.

The tornado warning had been scheduled to run until 11 p.m., but was dropped by 10:50 p.m. It stretched a relatively short distance - north to Old Town, west to Lawndale, and south through Bridgeport, Back of the Yards, and the South Loop and Bronzeville.

There were no reports of confirmed tornadoes in the city - but the rotation signature of the storm was strong enough to warrant a warning. However, there were widespread reports of wind damage as a result of the storm.
