Chicago weather: Severe storm threat diminishes, showers remain likely Friday

Though the threat of severe storms is not as strong, the Chicago area can expect some morning to midday showers Friday. Storms are still possible overnight.

There is an impressive cluster of storms over eastern Iowa right now heading east. These will likely weaken considerably as they move into Chicagoland later this morning.  

The rest of day should be warm and dry under mostly cloudy skies with a good deal of humidity and a gusty southwestern wind. 

The risk of severe storms is greatly diminished based on every computer model. The risk is certainly not zero which is why we will keep close tabs on things, but there may not be much activity until the wee hours of the morning.
