IN TABLE 1 BELOW...THE CURRENT (CS) AND HISTORICAL (HS) OR NORMAL
PROBABILITIES OF EXCEEDING MINOR...MODERATE...AND MAJOR FLOOD STAGES
ARE LISTED FOR THE VALID TIME PERIOD.

CS VALUES INDICATE THE PROBABILITY OF REACHING A FLOOD CATEGORY

CAUSE WIND CHILLS TO DROP INTO THE TEENS BY DAYBREAK ACROSS
PORTIONS OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS.

ANY LOOSE OBJECTS OUTSIDE SUSCEPTIBLE TO STRONGER WINDS SHOULD BE
SECURED. IN ADDITION...PREPARE FOR A MUCH COLDER MORNING ON FRIDAY
THAN SEEN ON THANKSGIVING DAY.

COLD FRONT. SIMILAR WIND GUSTS ARE LIKELY ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS
AS THE WINDS TURN TO THE NORTHWEST BETWEEN 10 PM AND 1 AM. THESE
HIGHER WIND GUSTS WILL PERSIST MUCH OF OVERNIGHT.

THE COMBINATION OF THE BRISK WINDS AND COLD TEMPERATURES WILL
CAUSE WIND CHILLS TO DROP INTO THE TEENS BY DAYBREAK ACROSS A
LARGE PORTION OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS.

ANY LOOSE OBJECTS OUTSIDE SUSCEPTIBLE TO STRONGER WINDS SHOULD BE
SECURED. IN ADDITION...PREPARE FOR A MUCH COLDER MORNING ON FRIDAY
THAN SEEN ON THANKSGIVING DAY.
