Spot shower possible through this afternoon but most of us will stay dry with a little bit of clearing to sunshine. Temps into the mid 70s! A little break from the wet weather tonight and tomorrow with showers and storms returning Thursday night into Friday. @WGNNews https://t.co/Zn8zs675Xh

A few isolated storms possible later today/overnight. We may see a couple marginally severe storms with hail and gusty winds. This is part of a rather stormy weather pattern for us this week. Several disturbances move through that will bring quick showers/storms. @WGNNews https://t.co/KGgxPUc9Rx

Next few days are looking really nice for us. Sunshine today and Saturday with a warming trend through the weekend. @WGNNews https://t.co/sA54iTs82X

Severe storms this afternoon/evening. Areas along and south of I-88 have been upgraded to an enhanced risk (level 3 of 5). The rest of the area remains under a slight risk (level 2 of 5). Damaging winds, hail and a few tornadoes will be possible. @WGNNews https://t.co/m2PNKbj280

Severe storms are possible Wednesday afternoon and evening. The main concerns are damaging winds and hail, however we can't rule out an isolated tornado. Most of the area is under a slight risk of severe storms (level 2 of 5). @WGNNews https://t.co/O54Mcgx4PI

Can't really beat today's forecast. 60s with sunshine in early March! Happy Monday! @WGNNews https://t.co/0yEapDRu8x

Rain showers transitions over to light snow later today. Our winds will strengthen significantly this afternoon as the tail end of this low moves out. Expect gusts to reach near 50 mph at times. A Wind Advisory is in effect until midnight. @WGNNews https://t.co/Y6Rsjg5t4r

Waves of shower will continue through the afternoon with the potential of a few non-severe thunderstorms. Tonight mainly expecting rain, snow will mix in tomorrow. Some areas have already received 1.5 to 2 inches of rain so ponding on roadways is likely! @WGNNews https://t.co/ENqmTvIo1A

Expecting quite the spread in temperatures today. Low to mid 40s to the north, low to mid 50s to the south. Overall still above normal for the season. A cloudier day for us but more sunshine is on the way late Thursday and Friday. @WGNNews https://t.co/NVoTgyDh4C

What a HUGE change! Last Monday our high was 9, today we hit 53! Parts of the central US were into the mid 70s. Our mild streak continues for the work week before we fall closer to normal by the weekend. @WGNNews https://t.co/AMUNsn3HEx

Our temperatures will continue to improve over the next few days and eventually climb out of this freezer! There is a light at the end of the tunnel, Monday kicks off a few days of temperatures in the 40s. Staying mainly sunny and dry into the weekend too. @WGNNews https://t.co/ZE73yl3VoT

Cold Weather Advisory tonight for north and west counties. Wind chills expected to drop between 10 and 20 below zero. @WGNNews https://t.co/Pvm1aRocab
