That’s expected to be true for Chicago this weekend, as storms on Friday give way to summer-like temperatures in the 80s Saturday.

Isolated storms will continue to move through northern Illinois Friday afternoon, with lightning and small hail possible in some areas, according to the National Weather Service.

Some areas may see fog as temperatures rise overnight.
