SPC just posted an upgrade to our outlook, bumping parts of the N/NW suburbs to an “Enhanced” chance of severe storms. The whole area has a very good chance of storms, and severe storms are possible throughout. The main threat is high winds, although some hail or an isolated tornado can’t be ruled out. Expect a severe watch later today, but I won’t post any updates unless something unusual develops.
Beyond the storm threat, today looks likely to be the warmest of 2017 so far – highs should reach the low- to mid-80s in most locations, although within a few miles of the lake temps could be 10-25 degrees cooler. The entire week looks warm, with no signs of below normal temps. Most highs will be well into the 70s and several (today through Thursday) should reach 80+ with occasional passing t-storm chances (especially on Wednesday).
