Waves of rain, thunderstorms to keep Chicagoland wet through tonight
Mike Caplan has your Chicago weather update!
CHICAGO - We’ve got showers and thunderstorms moving northbound through our viewing area this morning. This will likely be the first of several waves of showers and storms through the day and night.
While severe thunderstorms are not expected, the primary risk outside of lightning today will be locally-heavy rainfall. It will be quite humid with highs in the low 80s. Showers and storms will continue off and on tonight before leaving the area by sunrise tomorrow. Lows will be close to 70°.
