Heat and Storms Expected as We Exit June
Local emergency management officials are urging Whiteside County residents to stay alert as summer storms continue to move through the area. Periodic severe thunderstorm warnings remain possible, with sudden high winds and heavy downpours developing quickly, especially near the Rock River. Residents should have multiple ways to receive weather alerts, secure outdoor items, and move indoors when warnings are issued.
Drivers are also reminded to slow down during heavy rain and never cross water-covered roads. Officials say staying weather-aware can make a major difference as changing summer conditions bring both storm risks and heat concerns.
