There remains the potential for severe weather later today across the region (Threat Level 2 and 3 of 5). Confidence in whether storms develop or move into the area prior to late evening here locally remains low. However, if they do, conditions are favorable for them to quickly become severe with all hazards possible! The highest tornado and destructive hail threat remains across far northern Illinois (north of black dashed line). Additional storms are then expected through the overnight hours. Have multiple ways to receive warning information, including ways to wake you up at night!
The warm and humid pattern continues through the end of the week with multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms, some potentially severe! A change is then in store over the weekend as a passing cold front ushers in cooler conditions across the region. #ILwx #INwx
