Illinois weather radar: Track strong to severe storms headed to Chicago area
Two rounds of rain and storms were expected to hit the Chicago area Tuesday, the NBC 5 Strom Team reported, with both the morning and afternoon commutes expected to be impacted.
According to NBC 5 Meteorologist Alicia Roman, a line of severe storms bringing thunderstorms and tornado watches and warnings to Western and Central Illinois was moving eastward early Tuesday. That line was likely to weaken, Roman said, but still move into Chicago’s western counties by the 6 a.m. or 7 a.m. hour.
By 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., the storms, some of which could be strong, were expected to hit Chicago, Roman said. Those storms could contain heavy downpours, strong winds and some small hail, Roman said.
The second round, expected this afternoon, will see “all weather hazards will be at play,” including the chance for tornadoes, Roman said.
