Few light showers today then scattered storms Wednesday

Going into the middle of June it is currently the 20th wettest start to the month on record, but if we want to hold on to that top position we are going to need more rain since June is the wettest month of the year, on average. Some light showers are possible on Tuesday. One round rolls in during the morning then We might stay dry for the rest of the morning. More rain is possible Tuesday afternoon and evening with some isolated storms. Any rain on Tuesday should be pretty light with under a tenth of an inch for most, but higher in storms. 

The better rain chance will be on Wednesday where scattered storms are likely from the mid-morning through the late evening hours. Thursday could also see a few showers although those look more isolated and mainly confined during the morning and later evening hours. 

The time period to watch for the heaviest rain Wednesday will be in the late afternoon and evening hours. Rain totals could reach a half to 1.50" on Wednesday. 

A Level 2 Slight Risk for severe storms is possible for Wednesday, mainly for communities along and south of I-94. The threat for strong to severe storms is really dependent on where a warm front sits. That front may stay closer to the IL border which will keep temps in the 60s for most of us and keep strong storm chances in southern counties. If the front stays south the threat for severe weather may stay in northern Illinois.
