Special Weather Statement issued July 10 at 2:53PM CDT by NWS Chicago IL

Effective: Fri July 10, 2026, 7:53 PM
Expires: Fri July 10, 2026, 11:00 PM

Atmospheric conditions are favorable for the development of funnel clouds. These funnel clouds protrude downward from the parent cloud, rotate or spin like a top, and last a few minutes before dissipating. The atmospheric conditions that these funnel clouds develop in do not support strong, damaging tornadoes. However, these funnels can briefly touch the ground and produce very minimal damage. If threatening weather approaches, move indoors to a place of safety. The National Weather Service will continue to closely monitor the situation.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
