CHICAGO (CBS) -- A complex storm system will bring waves of rain the next two days. 

Only clouds and light showers are expected Sunday evening as dry air is holding strong. After midnight, we expect downpours to develop with isolated thunder at times into the morning rush.

Warm and humid air will be in place on Monday with a break in the rain during the day. Depending on how much instability builds during this dry time, we have a window of opportunity for strong to severe storm activity into the evening hours.

Heavy downpours are expected Monday night into Election Day.

Most areas could receive 1 to 3 inches of rain with isolated 4-inch totals. 

This is a slow-moving system overall with waves of downpours training in place at times.
