Scattered thunderstorms are expected north of the city and may creep into Chicago Monday evening, according to the National Weather Service.
“There are better chances of thunderstorms in the early afternoon and late morning in Rockford,” said David King, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “The question becomes, does that system that’s kind of tracking to the northeast bring anything into the city later tonight. And we can’t completely rule it out.”
King said he would predict a 30 to 40% chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms in the city tonight, though it’s possible rain passes Chicago completely.
If the city sees storms tonight, they will likely be to the north and west of Chicago, he added.
King also said the city will experience rising temperatures before a dip Monday night.
“We’ve got O’Hare slated to get to about 85, Midway 86, so anywhere in the mid 80s, creeping towards the upper 80s today,” King said. “And then temperatures will drop into the upper 60s. Just stay aware of the weather today.”
