Any severe storms that developed in this system would bring golf ball-sized hail, wind gusts of up to 70 mph, torrential downpours, lightning and possibly even tornadoes. The storms are expected to weaken by around midnight.
Temperature highs varied depending on the location on Monday. Along the lakefront, highs will sit in the mid to upper 50s, but inland temperatures will reach into the 70s. Some locations south of Interstate 80 could see temperatures in the 80s.
Another round of potentially severe evening storms will be possible Tuesday.
