A small group of severe thunderstorms formed in wisconsin and moved into northern illinois on the afternoon of aug 30. We catchup with the storms near Huntley IL and while traveling up hwy 47 and along hwy 176 towards Marengo IL. We end up finding two small hail cores and some winds and heavy rain. The storms gave the suburbs some good shelf cloud photos later on.
