Multiple rounds of severe weather set to hit Chicago area on Sunday

The National Weather Service warned of heavy rain, damaging wind and hail, with a second storm round Sunday night raising flash-flooding concerns.

  • On Sunday, the Chicago area faces two rounds of severe weather, with the National Weather Service issuing multiple severe thunderstorm watches for Lake, McHenry, and surrounding counties.
  • A lingering low-pressure system moving across Wisconsin and northern Illinois is triggering the weather, with this front remaining stationary through Monday evening.
  • Forecasters warn of torrential downpours, quarter-size hail, and wind gusts up to 60 mph, with localized flooding threatening Eastern Walworth, Racine, and Kenosha counties.
  • Authorities implemented a ground stop at O'Hare International Airport until 1:30 p.m. due to thunderstorms, while participants at The Wisconsin Women's Triathlon and Bristol Renaissance Faire should seek shelter.
  • Daily chances for rain persist through Wednesday, though a high-pressure system will eventually bring cooler, seasonable temperatures to the region by the end of next week.
