Multiple rounds of thunderstorms are expected on Wednesday in Chicago, with the possibility of severe conditions at night. The day starts with morning downpours and hail, which could affect the morning commute. Temperatures reach the upper 60s, near 70 degrees, with gusty winds outside of storms.

Storms have entered our region and will continue tracking east throughout the evening hours. A portion of the area was earlier upgraded to a High Level 5 out of 5 risk of severe weather, meaning confidence has increased even more in which we will see widespread and potentially significant severe weather.
