High winds raked the Chicago area Sunday with wind gusts topping 50 mph across much of the region. The area’s highest reported gust reached 60 mph in Valparaiso during the afternoon. While the Chicago area managed to dodge a major severe weather threat on Saturday, an EF-1 tornado struck southwest of Rockford in Ogle County, producing a damage track from Oregon to Stillman Valley. As the storm departs the area, the city can look forward to relatively quiet weather in the week ahead. No major precipitation is expected, though some showers are possible late Friday. Highs on Monday should peak around 50 and Tuesday promises to be the chilliest day with readings topping out only in the lower and middle 40s. Milder weather should return later in the week as temperatures rebound to near 60 degrees.
