The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning Tuesday night for parts of southwestern Bureau County<\/a> and southeastern Henry County.
At 6:38 p.m., a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado was located just north of Kewanee and moving northeast at 40 mph. NWS Quad Cities issued the warning until 7:15 p.m, according to the weather service.
Forecasters warned the storm could produce a tornado and hail up to baseball size. Communities in the path included Sheffield, Buda and Neponset.
The storm is expected to impact areas near Johnson-Sauk Trail State Park and a stretch of Interstate 80 between mile markers 39 and 45.
Residents in the warned area are urged to take shelter immediately in a basement or interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building and stay away from windows.
