Current Conditions
High heat and humidity will stay away from Chicagoland on Sunday and for the start of the coming work week.
But it’s going to return with a vengeance.
First, however, northeast winds will bring cooler temps to the area on Sunday, especially along the lakefront. That will also stir up Lake Michigan, with a Beach Hazards Statement in effect for Lake and Cook counties through Monday morning. Waves up to 3 to 5 feet could occur, making swimming dangerous along the shoreline.
Meanwhile, showers and storms are moving through parts of Chicagoland in the morning hours Sunday, particularly in southern areas. Forecast models show the rain lingering into the afternoon, but we’re likely to see gradual clearing around the area as Sunday progresses, with high temperatures remaining in the mid-70s.
Monday should then bring a pleasant start to the work week, with sunshine and high temps in the lower 80s, before significant late July heat and humidity envelops Chicagoland for the rest of the coming week (see more below).
