[Wgntv.trb.com] WGN Weather Weblog: As I pointed out in the piece we produced for today's Chicago Tribune and this blog, the primary short-term risk for severe weather into tonight--and it's fairly substantial--is for sections of Iowa, Minnesota and western Wisconsin--in other words, to Chicago's west. A tornado watch has already been posted for eastern South Dakota, northwest Iowa and western Minnesota through 6PM--and additional watches are likely to become necessary later Wednesday and Wednesday night.
