Chicago Weather: Storm threat on Monday in Chicago
Storms were on the approach Monday morning, and could bring gusty winds and small hail with the strongest storms.
Clouds and lingering rain may stick around into afternoon, which could limit how unstable the atmosphere becomes later in the day. However, if enough sunshine develops south and east of I-55, scattered storms could strengthen during the afternoon with damaging wind gusts the main concern.
Gusty southwest winds outside of storms may also approach 40 mph with highs in 80s.
Another round of showers and storms is expected Monday night into Tuesday as a cold front moves through, followed by cooler, breezy, and quieter weather by midweek.
