Weather watch underway with severe storms possible Wednesday
Those heading out to the polls today can expect cloudy and breezy weather, with a high of 46 and potential wind gusts of up to 25 mph.
But weather experts say to keep an eye on the forecast, as there’s a hazardous weather outlook in place for Naperville and the surrounding areas starting late tonight, with the risk of scattered thunderstorms. Those could bring hail of up to 1 inch in diameter.
Then on Wednesday, forecasters say there’s currently a level 3 out of 5 severe thunderstorm risk, carrying the potential for damaging winds, hail, localized flooding, and tornadoes. The National Weather Service says morning storms could determine if afternoon and evening storms will turn severe.

Riverwalk shoreline stabilization project
The Naperville Park Board on Thursday signed off on an intergovernmental agreement for a project involving the stabilization of the Riverwalk shoreline. DuPage County is the other governing entity involved.
Under terms of the agreement, DuPage County will administer the latest phase of the DuPage River west branch stabilization, which includes the Riverwalk area. The park district, in turn, will reimburse the county for the work, with the understanding it is capped at $300,000.
The Riverwalk project is the latest in a string of shoreline-related projects the county and park district have engaged in since last year. It’s expected to reach substantial completion by this summer.
