Waiting for it to warm up around Chicagoland this spring? Wait no longer, because warm air is here. Monday kicks off a very warm May week around the area, with highs ranging from the mid- to upper 60s lakeside — cooler temperatures at the lake will be a theme for now — to the lower 80s at some inland locations. Monday will get off to a clear and sunny start, but clouds will increase later before the chance for scattered showers and storms arrives Monday night into Tuesday.

What a gift from the weather for Mother’s Day, as we had a sparkling, sunny Sunday that even called for the use of sunscreen if you were outside for prolonged periods. There’s more mild May weather in the forecast all this coming work week, with several days projected to reach the 80s, or close to it (see more below). After high temps approach 80 inland on Monday, the extended outlook calls for more clouds on Tuesday, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms, some possibly strong to severe.

According to multiple reports, including the Chicago Sun-Times, the operators of the Tommy Bartlett Show said Tuesday that they’ve sold the business to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Entertainment.

Authorities say the second man was found dead several hours after the fatal police shooting, with cuts on his arm and neck, in a room just a few doors down from where officers opened fire. Police have opened a death investigation but aren’t officially saying if the incidents are connected. A police source told WGN-TV, however, that they are connected. The Cook County Medical Examiner has also not yet determined what caused the death of the man found with cuts on his body.

The recent pattern of dreary spring weather will hang on through most of Monday for Cinco de Mayo around Chicagoland. But things will turn for the better this week. Light rain and drizzle continues early Monday around the area, with overcast skies. The clouds may break up a little by the late-day hours, with high temperatures around 60 inland. Northeast winds off Lake Michigan, however, will keep it cooler at the lakefront.
