Winds gusted above 30 m.p.h. at some locations in and near Friday morning's cluster of
thunderstorms as indicated by our WeatherBug network. The storms swept across the
Chicago area and organized into a long but very narrow band which during the period
from 4 to 7:30 a.m. extended from DeKalb County to just west of Fort Wayne, Ind.
