The primary threat for Sunday afternoon’s storms is concentrated in Kankakee County and northwest Indiana, though the entire Chicago area is under at least a marginal threat of severe weather.
Damaging winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes are all possible during this system of storms, with potential of wind gusts of 60-to-75 miles per hour and two-inch hail.
Temperatures will then plummet this evening into the overnight hours, creating a wintry start to the work week, with highs only in the mid 40s tomorrow.
That brisk weather will persist through Tuesday ahead of another chance of severe storms on Wednesday as temperatures rebound to the high 60s.
