Current Weather Conditions in Chicagoland
Tuesday brings mostly cloudy skies and scattered showers and storms to Chicagoland — but we’re not likely to see a washout.
Isolated showers and storms are possible during the late morning to early afternoon hours, then chances increase later Tuesday afternoon, but it’s possible some parts of Chicagoland will stay dry.
The most widespread showers arrive overnight into Wednesday morning, with the highest chances in southern locations.
