This week is going to be very active weather-wise. Nearly every day has a storm chance and at times, the risk for severe storms. Staying weather aware is necessary this week!

Let's start with our Monday outlook. Overnight, a cluster of storms developed south of Chicago and that area of storms is sliding southeast into Indiana in the early morning hours. While the weather models show the cluster of storms falling apart before it gets here, I would not rule out storm locally after 8 a.m. This same area of storms could then lead to more storms developing locally throughout the afternoon and evening hours. A "slight risk" for severe storms is in place for the majority of our viewing area today.

It's also possible that the morning storms do fizzle out and nearly nothing redevelops this afternoon. I know that makes things a little unpredictable for your outdoor plans but you really should check the radar before heading. We'll be monitoring it all day long.

Scattered storms are expected tonight and it comes with a low-end threat for severe storms.

Then for Tuesday, while the exact timing of storms is kind of all over the place throughout the day, the risk for severe storms it a bit higher. Tuesday will be a 9 First Warning Weather Alert Day. Damaging wind gusts, a few tornadoes and flash flooding will be possible. We'll warm to 88 and it will still be oppressively humid. Storms are possible all day long!
