Chicago Weather: Severe Storm Risk Tuesday Afternoon, Evening

CHICAGO (CBS)-- Rain and possible severe storms are on the way.

Tuesday's temperatures will be in the upper 60s and low 70s. The morning is expected to start off foggy with a chance of showers before clouds start moving into the area.

By Tuesday afternoon, rain and storms are expected and some areas could get more severe weather. Storms could begin as early as 2 p.m., but CBS 2 meteorologist Megan Glaros said the storm will likely start closer to 5 p.m.

Western areas are at a greater risk of severe storms while north and east areas are only under a marginal risk.

Glaros said the main storm threats will be wind and hail and a low tornado potential.

Srong north winds are expected to develop later Wednesday into Thursday with gusts to 35+ mph possible and Lakeshore Flooding likely for northwest Indiana and possibly Cook County.

Rain will continue into Wednesday when scattered showers are possible throughout the day. The rest of the week is expected to be dry with warmer temperatures until Sunday.
