Once again, damaging hail could be the main threat, though gusty winds and isolated tornadoes will also be possible throughout the area.Yet another round of showers and even embedded thunderstorms could impact the area just before midnight, with heavy rain and cloud-to-ground lightning possible.After a dry start to the day, another round of showers and thunderstorms could impact the Chicago area late into the evening hours, with some of those storms once again approaching severe limits.
All manner of severe weather threats will be in play, including hail, gusty winds and even the threat of isolated tornadoes.
