Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 p.m.

While the worst seems to have definitely passed, the Chicago area remains under a wind advisory until 7 p.m. tonight, meteorologists said.

The wind advisory starts officially at 10 a.m. and runs until 7 p.m., but meteorologists from the National Weather Service said gusts will top out at 50 mph in the afternoon.

That's far less than the wind and heavy storms with wind gusts that topped out at 80 mph Tuesday, that caused trees to snap and power lines to fall.

The National Weather Service announced, in total, two tornadoes touched down in Illinois due to the storm. The largest was an EF-2 tornado that touched down in suburban Peotone. That damaged the roof of a home and slightly injured two teens, meteorologists said. A second hit in Elburn that caused damage to trees and power lines and caused some road closures.

Tens of thousands of ComEd customers were left without power following Tuesdays wind storms. ComEd officials were reporting only 3,700 outages systemwide as of 6 a.m.

They added the utility had restored power to 200,000 customers since the storm began, but could not say when the remainder of customers would be brought back on line.

The Chicago Department of Aviation said 75 flights have been cancelled at O'Hare Wednesday, far short of the cancelations Tuesday. There were no delays reported at either Midway or O'Hare Wednesday.

The storm Tuesday caused widespread delays and cancellations at O'Hare as more than 500 flights were canceled, with minor cancellations at Midway Airport. Airlines reported delays averaging between 45 and 60 minutes Tuesday, said Karen Pride, spokeswoman for the Chicago Department of Aviation.

Meteorologists said the forecast is expected to be in the low 60s today, but with sustained winds still blowing in at about 30 mph. The wind should give way to some rain this evening, with lows in the mid-30s.
