Right now it appears frost will be more on the patchy side but could end up being more widespread along and east of I-55 and across far northern Illinois.

We could see areas of frost late Friday night and Saturday morning as temperatures dip into the mid to upper 30s. The combination of a cool airmass, light winds, and clear skies will allow frost to develop where temperatures can drop below 38°.

Incredible hyper-lapse video of a large tornado moving across south Enid, Oklahoma! Captured with our Enid cam, you will see the tornado disappear into a curtain of hail only to remerge moments later! #okwx @KOCOMichael @NWSNorman @KOCOdamonlane @MikeMorganKFOR

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Tornado Watches have been issued for areas along and north of I-80 as well as areas to our west. This is mainly for storms developing along the warm front and prefrontal troughs. I suspect we'll see a Tornado Watch issued for the rest of the reigon later this afternoon.
