AURORA, ILLINOIS —

TNW Weather Operations has issued a Flight Alert for northern Illinois aviation interests Sunday evening as strengthening winds, moderate spring temperatures, and the threat of thunderstorms with lightning move into the region.

Forecasters say conditions will remain mostly calm through the first half of Sunday before a warm and increasingly unstable air mass surges into northern Illinois by afternoon. Thunderstorms are expected to begin developing late in the day, potentially impacting aviation operations around Aurora and the greater Chicago air corridor.

Primary Aviation Concerns:

Strengthening southwest winds increasing through the afternoon

Moderate temperatures climbing into the 70s

Thunderstorm and lightning threat after late afternoon

Possible turbulence and temporary flight delays

Rapid weather deterioration near storm cells

Air travelers and aviation operators are urged to monitor airport and airline updates closely as lightning and nearby thunderstorms can quickly disrupt ramp operations and delay departures or arrivals.

TNW Forecast Outlook:

Morning: Mostly cloudy, calm start

Afternoon: Warm, windy, increasing instability

Evening: Thunderstorms develop with lightning risk

Night: Flight impacts possible region-wide

TNW Weather Operations will continue to monitor the developing storm environment and provide updated alerts if conditions worsen.
