Chicago and Northwest Indiana are already under an enhanced risk, level 3 out of 5, for severe storm potential Wednesday.

Our next severe storm threat arrives late Tuesday night and then again on Wednesday as another spring storm system sweeps across the mid-west.

Hail and massive wind gusts pelted the Chicago area as severe thunderstorms rumbled through Sunday afternoon. The system had prompted a tornado watch covering most of northeastern Illinois and northwest Indiana, but the National Weather Service canceled it by 3:15 p.m. with storms rolling out over Lake Michigan.
