In DuPage County we anxiously await the emergence of cicadas and a response from @colbertlateshow.

People can’t stop buzzing about our cicada video! It was even featured on @colbertlateshow. Forest Preserve District President Dan Hebreard has a special message for Stephen Colbert. Take a look! 🪰 @StephenAtHome #cicada #cicadas #Colbert

We need some rain, but not the rest of it.
NWS Storm Prediction Center@NWSSPC
The severe weather threat has increased to an enhanced risk (Level 3 of 5) across northern IL/southern WI (large hail and a few tornadoes), and in the Ohio Valley (damaging wind and tornadoes, some which may be strong).

The news reports about solar flares causing cell service outages are not credible.

Some people are attributing cell network outages (AT&T, Verizon) in the U.S to last night’s X-class #SolarFlare. However, flares only cause radio degradation on the *dayside* of the Earth. As you can see below, the U.S was not affected by the event. So it’s just a coincidence!

🇺🇸SOLAR FLARE CAUSED CELL OUTAGE...? According to a weather person in Oklahoma, a level R3 Solar flare hit around the same time cell service went down across the U.S. for AT&T, Verizon, and many other providers. Thoughts? Source: 4Warn Storm Team
