NWS has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the entire area (north of ~I-80) until 10pm. Another day near 80 degrees has destabilized the atmosphere ahead of an approaching cold front. Storms are just beginning to develop in Wisconsin and will develop in the Chicago area this afternoon. This isn't the most impressive set up, but large hail and high winds are possible with these storms. A window from 5-8pm is the most likely time period for storms (moving west-to-east) in the general area. 

Tonight temps will fall into the 40s and 50s. Highs the rest of the week will be stuck between 50 and 60F (and cooler than that along the lake). Chances of passing rain will also persist most of the week, with Wednesday afternoon and night offering the best chance for sustained rainfall.
