Mokena friends - annual testing for outdoor warning sirens will take place tomorrow, Monday!

🚨 OUTDOOR WARNING SIREN INSPECTIONS – OCTOBER 5 🚨

Tomorrow, Monday, October 5th, from approximately 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Braniff Communications will be conducting routine inspections of all outdoor warning sirens throughout Mokena.

As part of the inspections, residents may hear brief 10-second “burps” or test activations at individual siren locations. If any issues are identified, Braniff may perform maintenance as needed.

These brief activations are part of the scheduled annual inspection and are not an indication of an emergency.

Thank you for your understanding as we work to ensure our outdoor warning sirens are functioning properly!

Another round of serious weather overnight tonight which could include heavy rain and possible hail! Stay weather ready!

[1:15 AM CDT Update 8/12/2026]

So far storms have failed to develop early this AM. While this is a good thing for those concerned about hail overnight, we are becoming more concerned that this may allow for a more robust complex of storms to move across parts of the area today. Stay tuned.

------------------------------------------------------
Previous Post Text:

The potential for another round of severe thunderstorms is increasing for overnight tonight. The primary hazards with any storms that develop will be damaging hail and torrential rainfall which may lead to flash flooding. Damaging wind gusts will also be possible with the strongest storms and it may not take much wind to cause additional tree damage given many were weakened from the destructive line of storms earlier today. Have multiple ways to receive warning information, including ones that will wake you up!

Anything outside that you care about—secure it or bring it inside!
These are the types of storms that can lead to power outages, downed trees, and downed power lines. They’re arriving a little earlier than we expected, so now is a good time to get things secured.

The weather service is warning that storms could bring damaging wind gusts up to 80 mph, torrential downpours, and possibly even embedded tornadoes. Heavy rain could also cause flash flooding, especially on roads, in low-lying areas, fields, and basements.

The Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Stay safe and keep an eye on the weather!

Another Severe Weather Alert today! Be weather ready friends.
