A line of thunderstorms that was in east-central Iowa this morning has not dissipated as much as expected, and is still holding together while crossing McHenry County and while entering Kane County [LIVE RADAR | Radar 6.23.2013 @ 5:05 PM ].
There is a good chance these storms will barely amount to anything by the time they reach Arlington Heights and the northwest suburbs, but you might here some thunder rumbling. A few small cells are also trying to develop directly overhead, but they are barely amounting to anything.
Residents of Kane County, DuPage County, Kendall County and Will County are more likely to see some thunderstorms (UPDATE: A Severe Thunderstorm Warning was issued for Central Cook County, Southeastern DuPage County and North Central Will County at 5:14 PM).
