Just a quick update about the threat for severe storms this afternoon. We’re not currently under a watch, but one is likely in the entire area (see below). It is unlikely that any of these individual storms will merit a separate update, but be on the lookout for locally severe storms this afternoon. The most likely window is 2-5pm, with the usual caveats about timing/predicting something like an individual thunderstorm. The usual high-wind threat is there but there is also an unusually high potential for large hail with these storms.
The good news is that while the air traffic backup could be a problem that lingers all day, the storms should clear near or in time for rush hour and the Cubs game.
In other news, our mid-range outlook is mild and mostly dry.
