A watch indicates that conditions are favorable for severe weather, while a warning means that severe weather is imminent or occurring and immediate action is required.

It’s been a long spring in Chicagoland, but Monday will kick off a very summery week as the calendar officially flips to summer this Friday. High temperatures won’t get too hot Monday, though inland areas are projected to reach the mid-80s, with a mix of sun and clouds. It’ll remain in the low 70s by the lake, however.

Forecast: Sunny and warm Father’s Day; cooler temps lakeside

2 weeks ago | wgntv.com | Demetrius Ivory |Tim Joyce |Bill Snyder

The Father’s Day weekend began with a fair amount of cloudiness, but a drier northeast wind flow off the lake from a high pressure to the north scoured out the clouds rather expeditiously and resulted in a fairly pleasant afternoon. High temperatures warmed into the low 80s inland, but near the lake it was only in the middle 60s to near 70 degrees. Lake Michigan water temperatures are slowly climbing, but still fairly cool.
