Scattered thunderstorms are likely to develop and track through the area this afternoon. A few storms could be strong to severe with localized damaging winds as the primary hazard. Otherwise, expect lightning, downpours, and gusty winds with most other storms. #ILwx #INwx

@ChasingWConnor Would you be willing to share the footage that your dad captured with us so we can determine where the second (and possibly third?) tornado occurred? If so, you can send it to [email protected]. Thanks!

Pleasant through tonight, then occasional shower and t-storm chances return. The highest t-storm coverage looks to be on Wed afternoon-early evening, perhaps with a few strong storms across parts of northern #ILwx. Temps will continue to run below average for late June. #INwx

This year’s rainy Father’s Day featured a swath of ~1-3” totals roughly between #ILwx & Kankakee River Valleys & I-88 corridor. The overall highest amounts focused near I-80, where localized flooding occurred, particularly in Chicago’s south suburbs across far northwest #INwx.

Expect pleasant weather thru Tue night and then a return of occasional shower and t-storm chances the rest of the week. Severe weather appears unlikely locally with the scattered showers and storms Wed afternoon and eve. Below avg. temps for late June will continue. #ILwx #INwx
