NWS officials said the storms could contain hail as large as a golf ball and wind gusts up to 70 mph.
If you need to take shelter, the NWS recommends going to an interior room of a well constructed building or a basement. Avoid sheltering inside of a mobile home, vehicle or underneath a highway overpass.
The NWS also warned that the Chicago area will likely see scattered thunderstorms until 5 p.m. The strongest storms were expected to hit northwest Indiana.
