Sunshine returns on Tuesday before rain and snow chances return on Wednesday in Chicago. Highs will be in the middle 40s, with slightly cooler readings near the lake. Rain develops late Tuesday night into Wednesday.

The Chicago branch of the National Weather Service tweeted out: "The potential for severe weather returns as early as Tuesday night (threat level 1 and 2 of 5) as multiple waves of storms life across the area, mainly after midnight. Large hail, gusty winds and lightning are the main hazards of the storm."

Thursday is the only rain-free day in the forecast this week. The Water Reclamation District is asking residents to reduce water use to put less strain on the sewer system.
