| episode_narrative | A deepening area of low pressure pushed across the upper Mississippi Valley causing strong southerly winds across northern Illinois. Maximum wind gusts across the area generally ranged from 35 to near 50 mph, with at least two mesonet sites reporting gusts in excess of 50 mph. Dry conditions in some areas led to dust being blown reducing visibility to near zero at times. |
| event_narrative | Near zero visibility was reported on Interstate 88 causing an accident near Watson Road. A van struck the back of a semi-trailer, causing a chain reaction involving two more semi-trailers. The driver of the van was seriously injured and had to be evacuated via medical helicopter. Two of the semi-truck drivers were also injured and transported to the hospital via ambulance. All lanes on the interstate were shut down along a one mile stretch for approximately two hours, while the eastbound lanes were closed for an additional hour. |
