The remainder of Monday should be dry for Chicagoland following overnight showers. The mostly cloudy conditions of the morning and midday will clear a bit toward the evening hours. We’ll have continued breezy conditions with sustained winds from the west at 20-25 mph gusting up to about 35 mph. Expect high temps in the mid-50s. Winds will die down by tonight, leaving some calmer conditions in place for Tuesday.

Some areas around Chicagoland may see isolated showers or stronger cells with hail in the late night and overnight hours, but the greater threat of severe weather and the potential for tornado development has diminished. Expect temperatures to tumble overnight, bottoming out in the upper 40s around sunrise Saturday. While Friday was unseasonably warm, the day’s cloud cover appears to have increased stability in the atmosphere, reducing the threat of severe weather.

The chillier-than-normal April temperatures we’ve had lately will remain around Chicagoland on Thursday, particularly for lakeside locations. A northeast breeze gusting up to 15 miles per hour will keep lakeside highs in the low 40s. Far inland, however, highs will reach the mid-50s, especially in southwest areas. Some light showers are possible, otherwise it’ll remain mostly dry but also mainly cloudy for the rest of Thursday.

Weather MapsInteractive RadarWeather Bug CamerasThe chilly pattern that has dominated the past several days is not letting go just yet. A persistent northwesterly jet stream out of Canada is the culprit behind the cooler-than-normal temperatures. Highs Thursday and Friday will continue that trend, but some moderation is likely well inland, away from the chilly influence of Lake Michigan, where low 50s will be common. WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with showers continuing at times throughout the evening.

Ahhh… springtime in Chicago. A low pressure system out west on Monday will reach the Chicago area later this week with a rain/snow mix on Wednesday. There is a “possibility of a little bit of accumulation as this system moves through,” WGN meteorologist Alyssa Donovan said on Monday’s WGN Midday News. Forecast models show the snowfall early in the day, with mostly rain in the afternoon hours.
