Chicagoans can expect to see more severe weather on Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
The weather for Monday into late Tuesday evening will be calm, with potential for storms to develop after midnight on Tuesday, said Mark Ratzer, meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
Temperatures Monday and Tuesday are expected to stay in the 40s. Wednesday is then likely to see rain showers and thunderstorms, with temperatures expected to reach the upper 60s.
“The entire state is outlooked for an enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms,” Ratzer said, noting that areas that are outlooked for relatively high risk include southeast Wisconsin and lower Michigan all the way down into the lower Mississippi Valley.
How Wednesday’s severe weather will impact specific metro areas or what time the brunt of the storms are expected to hit is still unclear at this time, Ratzer said.
“It looks like it will have some of those showers and storms around in the morning, and as usually happens in these thunderstorm cases and severe weather cases, kind of what happens in the morning … will have a large impact on how this stuff evolves later in the afternoon,” Ratzer said.
