1o:10 p.m. Wednesday
The National Weather Service-Chicago website hasn't posted a Severe Thunderstorm Warning yet, but I just got a text bulletin from the NWS saying there's an immediate request for one for Northern Illinois.
Radar shows there's a storm a-comin', pardner. Whether the weather stays north or not, I'm not qualified to say, but as you can see from the map, we'll get some if it keeps moving due east.
