A mature bow-shaped that formed over Wisconsin moved southward over the greater Chicago area.  The bow echo produced damage in many of the western Chicago suburbs and southward to the town of Kankakee, IL.  The initial LSRs noted both tornado and straight-line wind damage associated with this system, however, extensive ground and aerial surveys found no evidence of tornado damage and isolated areas of straight-line wind damage.  The greatest damage appeared to be in the town of Kankakee.  Numerous trees were blown over in the western part of town and a couple of tractor-trailers were blown over.  Overall, the extent of straight-line wind damage appeared to be less than the LSRs suggested.
