While a high-pressure cap could potentially thwart the development of some severe storms in the Chicago area on Tuesday, that chance still very much exists, and it could even last into Wednesday according to forecast models.
According to the Storm Prediction Center, areas to the west of Interstate 55 are still at an “enhanced risk” of severe weather on Tuesday, with areas like McHenry, DeKalb and LaSalle counties in that area, along with parts of Kane, Kendall and Grundy counties.
If storms develop, they could contain large hail, damaging winds in excess of 60 miles per hour, and even potentially produce isolated tornadoes.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters.
