Fast Facts
A strong supercell thunderstorm moved over 100 miles from northeast Illinois to northwest Indiana during the late afternoon and evening (5:30-8:30 P.M.) of Monday, June 13.
A wide swath of wind damage, some of which was significant, occurred along the path of this storm, and an NWS Storm Damage Survey Team determined that some of the damage was consistent with scattered to widespread wind speeds of 75-95 mph. The survey team also determined that two tornadoes, both EF-0s, occurred first in Hoffman Estates and then later in Schaumburg and Roselle.
Some of the most severe wind damage was non-tornadic and occurred in Streamwood, Schaumburg, Roselle, and within a corridor extending from Elk Grove Village through Lyons in west central Cook County.
Hundreds of trees were downed or damaged, which also resulted in widespread power outages. There was some structural damage, which included roofs being partially blown off apartment buildings in Westchester and in Bellwood. Two injuries were reported by local media. A small plane was also flipped over at Schaumburg Regional Airport.
O'Hare Airport gusted to 84 mph while Midway Airport gusted to 69 mph with this storm. The 84 mph wind gust at Chicago O'Hare tied the 2nd strongest gust ever measured at the O'Hare Airport weather station.
A Tornado Watch was issued at 5:50 P.M. for all of northeast Illinois and northwest Indiana, and multiple Tornado Warnings were issued for the storm as well.
This supercell storm formed along a warm front at the periphery of a hot and very humid air mass that was spreading northward.
This storm had an impressive depth, with a top over 60,000 ft based on data from multiple radars, and may have been over 65,000 ft to near 70,000 ft. Radar beam widths and heights at such a high elevation become very wide, so it's difficult to determine a specific height. No matter what, this storm was within the upper echelon of storm tops for mid-latitude, non-tropical thunderstorms

Survey Results
Full Public Information Statement
Based on an NWS Damage Survey, information collected from emergency management partners, and spotter reports, it was confirmed that two tornadoes touched down in the northwest suburbs of Chicago while strong straight-line winds caused extensive damage across parts of Cook and DuPage counties.
Downloadable KMZ file of both tornadoes and all damaging wind swaths
Tornado #1: Hoffman Estates EF-0 Tornado and Streamwood Straight-Line Winds:
Summary: Based on drone video footage and radar data from KLOT, TORD, and TMDW, it was determined that a brief EF-0 tornado touched down near the intersection of Golf Rd. and Bartlett Rd. in the Arthur L. Janura Forest Preserve in Hoffman Estates. Damage along the tornado's brief path was entirely confined to trees. In addition, an NWS damage survey determined that widespread tree damage across Streamwood occurred due to strong straight-line winds of up to 75 mph. These winds were associated with a rear flank downdraft that wrapped around the tornadic circulation within the parent supercell thunderstorm. |
Tornado #2: Schaumburg-Roselle EF-0 Tornado and Straight-Line Winds:
Summary: An NWS damage survey determined that a brief tornado touched down in unincorporated Schaumburg, crossed the Elgin-O`Hare Expressway into Roselle, and lifted just prior to entering Medinah. Damage was sporadic along the path of the tornado and consisted of part of the roof of a business getting peeled back in two different directions with the rest of the damage being confined to trees. Just west of the track of the tornado, a broader swath of straight-line wind damage associated with a rear flank downdraft wrapping around the tornadic circulation was observed. These winds were estimated to be as strong as 75 mph and flipped over a small plane at Schaumburg Regional Airport in addition to causing widespread tree damage on the far southern side of Schaumburg and through much of Roselle. |
Northeast DuPage County/West Central Cook County Straight-Line Winds:
Summary: Between an NWS damage survey and information provided by local emergency management agencies, other government officials, and trained weather spotters, it was determined that damage to trees, utility poles, and structures observed across a large portion of west central Cook County was caused by a swath of strong straight-line winds. An approximately 18 to 19-mile long stretch of widespread 70+ mph winds likely occurred between Elk Grove Village and Midway Airport, with widespread 80+ mph winds likely experienced within a roughly 13-mile long corridor from O`Hare Airport (where an 84 mph wind gust was observed) through the Lyons and Forest View area. Widespread tree damage was noted in this region, including in the suburbs of Bensenville, Northlake, Stone Park, Bellwood, Westchester, Broadview, La Grange Park, Brookfield, Riverside, Lyons, Stickney, and Forest View, among other nearby locations. A localized corridor of estimated 90-95 mph winds was determined to have occurred in parts of Westchester and Broadview, with the former location having roofs peeled off of two neighboring apartment complexes and multiple windows blown out at an office building. An isolated 95 mph wind gust was believed to have occurred outside of this localized corridor in Bellwood, where an apartment complex had its roof peeled off, resulting in two injuries. |

Environment
Surface:
 |
 |
 |
| June 13, 2022 5 P.M. Surface Temperatures | June 13, 2022 5 P.M. Surface Dew Points | June 13, 2022 5 P.M. Composite Surface Analysis. This highlights a strong warm front that had lifted slowly north across the area, and the likely presence of a mesoscale low pressure area that was entering northwest Illinois. |
Upper Air:
 |
 |
| June 13, 2022 4 P.M. NWS Davenport, IA Weather Balloon Data (Sounding). This depicted the air mass to the immediate south of the warm front and shows extreme potential instability, although still an atmospheric cap in place in this area (different along the front where forcing for updrafts was greater). The weather balloon also sampled 0-6 km deep layer shear of 50 kt, sufficient for supercell storms. | June 13, 2022 5 P.M. 500 mb (~18,000 ft) Analysis. The 50 kt+ flow at 500 mb is potent for the summer season, especially in convective scenarios. This boosted the deep layer shear and potential for thunderstorm organization. |
Severe Weather Parameters:
 |
 |
| June 13, 2022 5 P.M. 0-6 km Shear Analysis. Values in excess of 35 kt support supercells and just overall thunderstorm organization. | June 13, 2022 5 P.M. 0-1 km Shear Analysis. Values in excess of 15-20 kt support low-level rotation in thunderstorms within unstable air masses, and also support cold pool sustainability. |
 |
 |
| June 13, 2022 5 P.M. Mixed-Layer CAPE (Instability). Extreme values are over 4,000 J/kg, and can result in explosive thunderstorm development, such as seen this afternoon along the warm front in northeast Illinois. | June 13, 2022 5 P.M. Supercell Parameter. This composite parameter highlights values with strong instability, shear, helicity, and little to no capping. Values of 2 can be favorable for supercells where mature storms actually develop. Extremely high values resided over Illinois, not surprisingly given especially the instability, but in tandem with the shear. |
