CHICAGO (WLS) -- A line of quick-moving storms raced through the Chicago area on Thursday, and more are possible overnight.

ComEd said 12,000 customers were without power at the height of the storms Thursday, mostly in the northwest suburbs. As of 9:30 p.m., about 6,000 customers were still in the dark. ComEd said it hopes to restore power to all customers by 4 a.m. Friday.

The entire Chicago area was under a "marginal" risk for severe weather Thursday, the National Weather Service said. None of the storms in the Chicago area reached severe limits.

More storms are expected overnight and on Friday.
