Tornado Chase – Highlights – West of Chicago, IL – February 27, 2024 #ilwx #tornado #storm



An unusual tornado outbreak in February with 12 tornadoes confirmed by the NWS across Northern Illinois.

We started our chase on a triple point storm NE of Davenport and shifted to the monster supercell which spawned multiple EF-0 and EF-1 tornadoes across the greater Chicago area. Due to short February days, much of this chase was in darkness.

At 0:20 – This funnel cloud & potential tornado was captured 5 miles north of Mendota, IL, at 5:56 PM CST.
