Chicago Weather: Showers, Storms; Chance For Severe Weather In The Evening

CHICAGO (CBS)-- Heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected throughout the day and into the evening.

Storms and rain are possible Thursday morning as temperatures rise to the 70s. According to CBS 2 meteorologist Megan Glaros, isolated severe storms and thunderstorms are more likely to develop in the evening after a break in the afternoon.

Storms could bring hail, damaging winds and flooding. Most of the area is at a 15% chance of hail and areas south of I-80 are at a higher risk of strong storms.

By Friday, storms are expected to clear, leaving a partly sunny day with temperatures in the 70s.

Scattered shower chances return for the weekend, but the start to next week is looking sunny.
