Chicago's weather forecast Wednesday calls for another unseasonably warm day, but a cold front bringing rain and thunderstorm chances looms over the area Thursday.Wednesday morning starts out cloudy, NBC 5 Meteorologist Alicia Roman said, with a slight chance for showers through the early afternoon. Temperatures Wednesday will range widely, Roman said, with highs in the low 70s inland, to 50s and 60s along the lake.
"Maybe a few snow flakes to fall Monday morning," Roman said, noting that a high of 39 degrees was expected.Early Wednesday, some parts of the area could see showers, Roman said, with low-end rain and thunderstorm chances continuing into Wednesday evening. "A few isolated thunderstorms are possible this afternoon mainly north of I-88 across far Northern Illinois," an alert from the National Weather Service said."Scattered thunderstorms are likely after midnight tonight," the NWS said."While no severe weather is expected overnight, the strongest storms could produce small hail.""By this time tomorrow morning, we may even have a thunderstorm passing through," Roman said in the 5 a.m. hour.
By Thursday afternoon, showers are expected to lift northward, though most areas could still see showers and storms. One or two of those storms have the chance of being on the severe side, Roman said. "Some of these storms could be severe with hail to the size of quarters and wind gusts to 60 mph," the NWS said.The Storm Prediction Center shows parts to the south and southwest under a"slight" risk of severe weather, which ranks as level two of five on the SPC's severe weather scale. Most of the Chicago area Thursday however is under a"marginal" severe weather risk, which ranks as level one of five.
