Hettick Warnings, Watches and Advisories

Special Weather Statement issued November 12 at 4:31AM CST by NWS Chicago IL

Rain in a band of lake effect showers will transition to snow tonight, which will continue through Friday morning. Localized slushy snow accumulations may occur wherever the band is most persistent in portions of northwest Indiana and far northeastern Illinois north of the Kankakee River and roughly near and east of I-57. The Friday morning commute may be affected. Those driving late tonight through Friday morning should allow for extra travel time and plan for potentially slick roads and sudden sharp visibility reductions.

When a severe thunderstorm warning is issued, the storm may produce damaging winds, large hail, dangerous lightning, and heavy rain. In some cases, heavy rainfall produced by a severe storm can also lead to flash flooding. Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.

Please carefully read each posted Warning and Alert as it relates to the area(s) being affected. We may provide a wider range of issued severe weather warnings for surrounding cities and counties, so some alerts may not directly impact this location. This is done to help with preparing for severe weather that may overlap or be heading towards Hettick.
