CHICAGO — Grab an umbrella, Chicago.

Scattered thunderstorms are expected to roll through the city between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.

As of 6 a.m., an earlier tornado watch issued for several counties, including Cook County, was canceled, and meteorologists at the National Weather Service said the storm traveling across the region had lost some intensity.

But Chicagoans could still see scattered thunderstorms Tuesday morning through the early afternoon, and there is a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms Tuesday night, according to the National Weather Service.

Temperatures are expected to reach 89 degrees before dipping to about 73 degrees Tuesday night.
