But, by about 2 p.m., the risk had subsided.
The wind did appear to bring down a large tree in the backyard of an Old Irving Park home, crushing a garage and vehicle inside.
ComEd crews were on the scene after the incident.
Neighbors said they didn't believe anyone was hurt.
Colder air is now returning, as temperatures have been falling Tuesday afternoon.
Most of the area will be in the upper 20s by early Wednesday, with wind chills in the teens.
