Another chance for scattered showers and storms will move into the Chicago area Tuesday, bringing the threat of gusty winds and flooding to parts of the region.
While some of the storms could be "hit or miss coverage," similar to Monday, there is a chance for more widespread rain heading into the evening hours.
The threat for scattered showers and potential thunderstorms will begin around 2 p.m. and continue through the afternoon and early evening, according to the National Weather Service.
Those storms, however, will be more scattered in nature than those that develop later in the evening, with the NWS predicting "more widespread" showers and storms after sunset.
There is an isolated threat that some storms could become strong to severe, with gusty or damaging "downburst" wind gusts of up to 60 mph, heavy downpours and lightning strikes possible. Some storms could also produce hail of up to an inch in diameter.
Some storms could continue overnight and into Wednesday morning before a cold front passes through, paving the way for a drier and cooler day.
