Tornado Season in Will County - Chicagoland
Sound the Alarm
Today's temperatures are warm and it's exceedingly humid or actually raining. It's afternoon and there has been no prediction of the likelihood of increasing storms or tornadoes for the remainder of the day.
During most years, the odds of tornadoes occurring in Will County, IL ... and the Chicagoland region, are highest during the months of April through June. But AccuWeather has predicted that this year's active weather systems will not only produce more tornadoes and severe storms than in previous years.
AccuWeather is also predicting that those weather systems will take place in areas outside what's called "Tornado Alley."
As anyone that has lived in the Chicagoland area very long can attest to, tornado and storm warnings are not uncommon. They'll tell you that a tornado's capabilities and power must be respected. And it's wise to stay alert and prepared.
To help us in our preparedness, sirens have been strategically placed all over Will County (and elsewhere in Chicagoland). During emergencies, sirens (or other sound devices) sound a loud steady signal for 3 to 5 minutes. Upon hearing them, residents (and visitors) should immediately head indoors to safety.
During a siren blast, important emergency information is broadcast to area residents on EAS (Emergency Alert System) stations. Multiple EAS stations (Broadcast, cable, and satellite operators) serve Will County, including:
Tornado Alley is identified as the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Florida is often added to that list too.

Be aware that most Will County communities and townships test their warning systems/sirens regularly ... most commonly on Tuesday mornings at 10 am. This test warning siren is run at the "attention" sound level for one (1) minute only and should not be confused with an actual emergency warning.
