The risk of severe weather we've been talking about for a week will arrive this afternoon with all threats possible. During the overnight, the Storm Prediction Center released today's risk for severe weather, with slight changes. One model puts the rough weather in our viewing area by noon, a little sooner than some other models. Storm movement will be from the west-southwest to the east-northeast. Damaging winds up to 70mph will be the primary concern.

It'll be a rainy Sunday in Chicago, but participants in the Shamrock Shuffle will be in good shape before the sprinkles move in. The early morning hours will be dry, but rain will begin to enter the Chicago area by about 10 a.m., although a sprinkle may occur before that. Rain will increase in coverage, and we may see some thunderstorms by late afternoon. Today and tomorrow's high temperatures will be seasonable, and temperatures will increase this week.

Cold air has plunged into Chicago, with the rain/snow mix changing to all snow before dawn. Light snow, about an inch or so in accumulation, is possible on Sunday morning. Snow ends by early afternoon. After a Saturday high temperature of 66 degrees, Sunday's high will be nearly 30 degrees colder. The good news is that any snow we collect this morning will melt away quickly. Temperatures then climb nicely on Monday and will be in the 65-degree range by Tuesday.
