Multiple chances for rain, storms and severe weather loomed over the Chicago forecast this week, with heavy downpours, large hail, 60 mph winds and even tornadoes possible, the NBC 5 Storm Team said.
The first chance for strong to severe storms comes late Monday, after a day of partly cloudy skies and high temperatures in the mid-to-upper 70s.
According to the NBC 5 Storm Team, the day starts out mild, but winds will pick up by afternoon, gusting as high as 25-30 mph. After 9 p.m. and through the overnight hours, a few storms were possible, especially north of I-88.
At that time, the Storm Prediction Center showed parts of the area, especially in counties to the north, under a “marginal” risk of severe weather, which ranks as level one of five. If storms do form, they could contain large hail and strong winds.
By 8 a.m., rain and storms will push southwards, especially along and south of I-80, the NBC 5 Storm Team said.
Later Tuesday afternoon and evening, a higher chance for storms and showers moves in. Areas to the south and east, including Will and Kankakee Counties in Illinois and parts of northwest Indiana will be under a “marginal” risk of severe weather, which ranks as level two.
The strongest thunderstorms Tuesday, the National Weather Service said, could produce damaging winds that could down tree limbs, large hail and even tornadoes.
“The tornado threat is low, but it’s not zero,” NBC 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Iisha Scott said.
While Tuesday will also see temperatures in the 70s, temperatures Wednesday will plummet, dropping into the 40s, with blustery conditions. More occasional showers and storm chances will continue through the end of the week, the NWS said.
