Severe Storm Warning Issued for Plainfield

Warned areas include Will and Kendall counties.

The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning, effective until 6:45 p.m. Friday

With temperatures over 90 degrees, the heat index is expected to top out between 100 and 105 degrees.

"The hot and humid airmass in place ahead of a cold front pushing southward will likely set the stage for a broken line of thunderstorms mid to late this afternoon into this evening," the NWS said. "Strong instability could allow for a few of the most intense storms to become severe and produce damaging wind gusts and large hail, as well as frequent cloud-to-ground lightning and torrential downpours."
