Chicago’s current weather pattern has been on the quiet side, but is there a chance severe storms could soon impact the region?
According to the NBC 5 Storm Team, temperatures are expected to rise quickly on Tuesday, with highs in the northern suburbs approaching 70 degrees. In the city and southern suburbs the mercury could hit 80 degrees.
That warm-up will also be accompanied by a chance of severe weather, as the Storm Prediction Center has the entire Chicago area at a “marginal” risk of severe storms, the first of five levels the SPC uses to determine the likelihood of such weather.
Any storms that develop are expected to arrive in the mid-afternoon hours and into the early evening, but those storms are expected to be isolated in nature rather than arriving in squall lines, according to the NBC 5 Storm Team.
The main threats with any storms that develop will be gusty winds throughout the area, and there is a possibility of some large and damaging hail, though that risk is bigger in areas along and west of Interstate 57, according to the SPC.
Meanwhile, the cold front that will be bringing those storms to the Chicago area will drop temperatures behind it, with a cooldown expected to last for at least a few days. High temperatures Wednesday could struggle to reach 60 degrees in some locations, while readings are expected to stay in the low-60s on Thursday, according to forecast models.
The good news on the horizon is that temperatures are expected to rise to more seasonable levels by Friday, with highs in the 70s, and then things could get even warmer over the weekend, with highs in the 80s across the Chicago area.
There is a chance of some scattered showers over the weekend, but things should mostly be nice as summer draws ever closer.
