Less than 10 minutes left of a NWS Tornado Watch, and the second wave of storms headed northward toward Arlington Heights is dissipating. The NWS Office Chicago stated at 8:25 p.m. that the severe threat continues to diminish and that the forecast is still on track for a Tornado Watch expiration of 9:00 p.m.

The most recent Tornado Warning Monday night near Chicagoland was activated for the area of Mendota, Illinois, southwest of Aurora. The Tornado Warning was issued at 6:49 p.m. and expired at 7:15 p.m. The NWS Chicago considered conditions still existed for short-lived rotation areas as late as the posting of their Area Forecast Discussion released at 6:36 p.m., but described an atmospheric instability that would become less effective, and that any tornadoes and strong winds would be short-lived.
