I think there was some coordination on messaging by the NWS offices today. Chicago: Final Takeaway Message: Given the severe weather parameters in play tomorrow, as well as the threat for potentially significant flash flooding (even outside of the higher severe threat areas), it is important to continue to monitor later forecast updates closely. Review (and practice) severe weather safety plans. Have multiple redundant means to receive warning information, and keep mobile devices charged in the event of power outages. Northern IN: So this is a potentially very dangerous situation and one would be wise to use caution and stay very weather aware tomorrow. Make sure to have multiple means of receiving warnings and keep your cell phones charged up and a fresh set of batteries in your weather radios in case of power outages.
