The combination of warm temperatures, dry conditions, and strong westerly winds will lead to an increased threat for fire spread tomorrow especially along and north of Interstate 88. Limit activities that may cause sparks or involve open flames.
Heads up! There will be a threat for severe weather across our region on Thursday, especially along and south of Interstate 80. Every degree in temperature and dew point matter this time of year, so we will be focusing on whether enough instability will develop to carry the threat for severe storms. Nevertheless, stay up to day on the forecast!
A series of spring-like storm systems will move through the area tonight and Thursday accompanied by opportunities for showers and thunderstorms and periods of windy conditions. Temperatures will tumble toward the end of the week, marking the end of our spring-like temperatures. #ILwx #INwx
