What to expect:
Now through the Overnight
A warm front moving into the region has generated showers and thunderstorms over Illinois and Indiana this afternoon. These storms will continue east this evening through the overnight. Damaging winds, large hail, and an isolated tornado are all possible with these storms tonight. Multiple rounds of rain are expected overnight and will pose a localized flooding risk.
Tuesday Afternoon and Evening
A cold front will move south across the area on Tuesday afternoon, allowing for showers and thunderstorms to develop over the region.
