Chicago Braces for Tornado Watch as Storm Cleanup Continues

The National Weather Service issued a tornado watch through 9 p.m. for the Chicago area as a second round of storms could bring up to 80 mph winds, hail and flash flooding, following Wednesday’s derecho that toppled trees and knocked out power citywide; crews are cleaning up and residents are urged to monitor updates, with a flood watch in effect through Thursday night and the possibility of tornadoes if storms touch down.
