The same storm bringing the risk of severe weather and even a couple of tornadoes to the vast Chicago metro area into Wednesday evening will rapidly push cold air into the region Wednesday night along with snow.

All weather hazards were at play Wednesday, including tornadoes, hail and damaging winds, followed by ‘wind-whipped’ snow.

The storms are expected to be most severe Wednesday afternoon and evening, with damaging wind and hail possible, according to the National Weather Service.
