According to experts from the National Weather Service, we can anticipate a scorching mid 90s temperature this Saturday, but it may not last for long. The reason for this is the impending arrival of possible thunderstorms in the late morning and afternoon hours. So, while we can expect to sweat it out in the morning, we may be able to cool off a bit later in the day.
Currently, Midway Airport is experiencing a rather cloudy and breezy morning, with temperatures reaching 92 degrees. A little further northwest, at O'Hare International Airport, the conditions are quite similar with the temperature hovering around 91 degrees.
The officials have also warned residents of north central and northeast Illinois, as well as northwest Indiana, to be prepared for thunderstorms and a potential risk of tornadoes. They have also cautioned about the possibility of strong winds reaching speeds of 60 mph and hailstones as big as quarters causing damage.
While the expected high temperature for Saturday is 94 degrees, the night may bring some relief with a low of 70 degrees. However, before we can enjoy a peaceful night's rest, we may have to endure some showers and thunderstorms before 3 a.m. on Sunday. These storms may also bring heavy rainfall, with a 90 percent chance of rain and wind gusts of up to 30 mph.
As we head into Sunday, the officials are predicting cooler temperatures in the high 70s with sunny conditions. So, we can look forward to a more pleasant day after the hot and stormy Saturday. Stay safe and stay informed about any updates from the National Weather Service.
