Sorry for the very late text this morning (I got a new phone, took forever to transfer), but I wanted to warn yall: a round of potentially severe thunderstorms is likely around mid-day today with heavy rain, wind, and possibly tornados in the southwest suburbs! 

Temps will be “cooler” today due to cloud cover and lake influence, but highs will still be right around 80F.  

Unfortunately, dew points will remain elevated behind the storms as a new wave of storms readies to impact the city tomorrow morning. A third wave of storms is expected on Thursday morning, with more storms possible Friday lol. Whew!

Dewpoints MAY drop this weekend as northern air drifts southward, but the rest of this week will be muggy with high temps around 80F almost every day. Extreme heat is ONCE AGAIN possible next week with relief MAYBE arriving by August 22, lol.

Tl;dr - severe storms possible today, muggy, 80 all week. Storms possible tomorrow through the weekend.
