Well, our brief visit from summer is now in the rearview mirror and a dip in the jet stream has allowed cool, lake-influenced air to drift back southward into our region. Temps will be chilly today with highs only in the 50s. Skies will turn cloudier as the day goes along.

A major storm will target the Chicagoland area beginning tonight. Showers are likely, beginning tonight and continuing through Wednesday 😭. Rain will be cool and stratoform (aka no heat-induced t-storms), and temps will hover in the 50s during the day (40s at night). 

Things will begin to clear out and dry up on Thursday, and while Memorial Day weekend looks like it will be one of our coolest in years, it should be sunny at least!

Tl;dr - cool week ahead. 50s all week. Rain tonight through Weds.
