However, another round of storms is forecast to come back to the area tonight, ABC7 Meteorologist Tracy Butler said.

Humidity and the warm temperatures will persist as storms are expected to begin later this afternoon and build into the evening hours.

The rain is likely to drag into Tuesday morning, with strong storms still possible in the area tomorrow.

As for the Broadway In Chicago free Summer Concert, Butler suggests everyone park a raincoat and have means to receive weather alerts. The show will go on - rain or shine. However, if there is lightning, the show could get delayed.
