Two rounds of potentially severe thunderstorms are forecast for Chicago on Monday—first from about 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and a second, possibly more severe from 4 to 10 p.m.—with large hail and damaging winds up to 70 mph and additional rain that could worsen flooding in a record-wet spring (about 10 inches through April 17).
