The National Weather Service has canceled the tornado watch issued earlier this (Thur) afternoon. Storms have "rapidly pushed to the northeast."

The high wind warning remains. University of Illinois Willard Airport in Savoy recorded a gust of 48 miles per hour.
Tighten down those outside objects and driving is quite a challenge; winds have blown vehicles off the roads, especially in the open, rural areas.
