Chicago Weather: Another Chance For Severe Storms Tuesday Night
CHICAGO (CBS) -- A day after heavy rains, and even a tornado, left homes flooded and property damaged, there is another threat of severe weather coming for Chicago.
Chicago will be under a marginal risk of severe storms on Tuesday night. Towns south and southwest of the city are under a slightly higher threat. A first wave of rain arrived in the afternoon. The heavier storms are more likely between 8 p.m. and midnight.
The main concern will be heavy rains, in areas that are already saturated. The risk of tornadoes is very small, CBS's Ed Curran reports. Hail and winds has high as 60 m.p.h are also possible.
The threat for severe weather is even higher for western Illinois, as well as parts of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska.
Monday's storms dumped two to three inches of rain in many locations, including 3.76 inches in Somonauk and 3.6 inches in Willow Springs. Many western suburbs had two to 2.5 inches of rainfall.
