While the overall tornado risk is low, an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out, according to FOX Weather, as a broader system moves across the Great Lakes region.FOX Weather reports this system is part of a larger storm pattern impacting more than 25 million people across the Great Lakes, with the Storm Prediction Center placing much of the Chicago area under a Level 2 out of 5 risk for severe weather.Later today and into tonight, any stronger storms are expected to favor areas well south of Chicago, including parts of northwest Indiana, where the severe threat could be a bit higher.Temperatures will vary across the area, continuing a familiar trend this month. Many locations will start off in the 60s and 70s, but cooler air will move in later today, with 40s and 50s becoming more widespread.Looking ahead, this unsettled pattern isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. FOX Weather says an active stretch of severe weather is expected to continue into early April, with repeated rounds of storms possible across parts of the central U.S.Locally, Wednesday will be much cooler with highs in the 40s and a few showers, before another round of showers and thunderstorms returns late Wednesday into Thursday, with the potential for stronger storms again. A brief break is possible Friday, followed by more rain Saturday and cooler conditions heading into Easter Sunday.
