Severe thunderstorm watch issued for Kenosha County in Wisconsin ...Middle East

A severe thunderstorm watch was issued for parts of southern Wisconsin Friday morning as a severe weather threat looms over the Chicago area later in the day.

The watch was in effect through 11 a.m. Friday and covers 15 Wisconsin counties, including Kenosha in the Chicago area.

According to NBC Storm Team Meteorologist Alicia Roman, Friday was expected to start out dry, though a system moving into south-central Wisconsin could clip the far northern counties around 10 a.m.

“This could bring a shower or isolated thunderstorm later this morning,” Roman said, with rain chances picking back up beginning around 2 p.m. for some.

Winds are expected to pick up at that time too, Roman said, with gusts upwards of 40 miles per hour for much of the area.

Afternoon is also when the Chicago area will see its warmest temperatures, with readings topping 80 degrees for most parts. Some areas to the south and west could see even warmer readings, including Kankakee, where a high of 84 degrees is expected, Roman said.

To the north, temperatures will remain slightly cooler, Roman said, with highs in the mid-to-upper 70s.

Showers and storm chances ramp up late Friday, Roman said, particularly between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. Overnight, storm chances continue, with the greatest risk of storms expected to the south and east.

During that time, the entire Chicago area will be at a “slight” risk of sever weather, which ranks as level two of five on the Storm Prediction Center’s scale. The greatest threats with any storms that do develop will be gusty winds and large, damaging hail, the National Weather Service said.

“There is also the potential for locally damaging winds and perhaps a tornado, especially if thunderstorms become more widespread and are able to organize into a line,” the NWS added.
