A ground stop has been lifted at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport after a fast-strengthening thunderstorm rolled through the area.
The FAA issued the ground stop at 12:20 p.m., and it was allowed to expire at 1:30 p.m. as the storm moved out of the area.
A severe thunderstorm warning was canceled in Cook County in Illinois and in Indiana’s Lake County, as the storm that triggered it had weakened below severe limits.
A heat advisory is also in effect for the area, giving fuel to any storms that develop as they swirl around perimeter of a weather phenomenon known as a “ring of fire” pattern, a heat dome that allows squalls of thunderstorms to spin in a circle over a wide swath of the Midwest.
More pop-up thunderstorms could occur Monday, though a more substantial system is set to move through the area Tuesday, with a “marginal” risk of severe weather, according to the Storm Prediction Center.
