Now they've spread the warning into Cook. Rain delay in the White Sox-Yankees game on the south side. Calm for now in the northern burbs of Chicago.

Hopefully nightfall will remove some dynamic energy from the storm environment but shear profiles are very favorable for rapid tornado development. IMHO we have one more hour to maintain extreme awareness.
