Dust storm warning issued as gusty storms approach Chicago area
The Chicago area is once again looking at a stormy evening with the potential for some severe weather Friday night, and a rare dust storm warning was issued for much of the Chicago area as blowing dust is causing reduced visibility on several Interstate highways. Unlike Thursday, however, the threat and expected severity of any potential thunderstorms are lower and mainly concentrated southeast of the city. Warm, windy conditions with low humidity are prompting a Wind Advisory and Red Flag Warning for high fire danger. High temperatures are pushing well into the 80s.

The National Weather Service said a dust storm has caused significantly reduced visibility on Interstate 55 near Shorewood, Interstate 57, and Interstate 80 near Joliet, along with Interstate 65 near Crown Point, Indiana. According to the National Weather Service, wind gusts could reach over 70 miles per hour during the storms. The most significant storm threat remains east of I-55. Thursday evening, mainly between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., a few severe storms race into southeastern portions of the Chicago area, packing wind gusts to 70 mph and golfball size hail. Areas northwest of Chicago will likely remain dry. Cooler, dry weather settles in this weekend but a rainy pattern returns next week.
