Otherwise, temperatures this last full week of December will average above normal for much of the lower 48 states. Read More >

Overview

June 9th Fast Facts:

  • The remnants of Tropical Storm Cristobal, that made landfall in Louisiana on June 7, brought gusty winds to northern Illinois and northwest Indiana that were enhanced to damaging levels under stronger showers.
  • During the mid-afternoon through early evening there were multiple arcs of showers (with little to no lightning) that produced scattered wind damage, especially in Cook County including parts of Chicago.
  • One brief tornado was reported from multiple spotters near the Ford and Iroquois County border in rural east central Illinois near the town of Onarga.
  • It is not that uncommon for remnant tropical systems to impact the area, averaging about once every 8-9 years going back to the late 1880s. See our page on Climatology of Tropical Cyclone Remnants for the Local Area
