Severe weather for the Chicago area this weekend
CHICAGO (CBS) -- A storm system moved into the Chicago area Friday night into Saturday morning, bringing several rounds of showers and thunderstorms.
As of 11:15 p.m., thunder, lighting, and rain were pounding the northwest part of Illinois, and were all headed toward the Chicago area.
Some of the thunderstorms overnight Friday into Saturday have the potential to produce heavy rainfall, which could lead to minor flooding.
A few of the stronger storms may also contain small hail.
After a drier day on Saturday, another storm system will move in on Sunday. This will bring additional chances for showers and thunderstorms from Sunday afternoon through early Monday morning.
The main concern again will be heavy rainfall, potentially causing minor flooding along with small hail, especially for areas south of I-80.
A final round of rain is forecast for late Monday through Tuesday. Lingering moisture and colder temps may allow for some snow flurries on Wednesday.
Tonight: 100% chance for showers and thunderstorms. Low 42.
Saturday: Mostly cloudy. High 60.
Sunday: 60% showers and thunderstorms. High 48.
