The Chicago area is seeing a blast of summery heat this week, but it could end with the threat of severe thunderstorms.
most of the Chicago area is at a slight risk of severe storms on Thursday, the second of five prediction levels used by the SPC. The main threats will be gusty winds, but other severe threats are also on the table according to forecast models.High temperatures are expected to soar into the upper-80s and even the low-90s across the area, according to forecast models. At least some sunshine will also help fuel the warm temperatures, with humidity slowly on the rise.
Clouds will also start to build back in during the early afternoon hours ahead of the arrival of a cold front in the region.The possibility of severe weather roars to life in the late afternoon and into the evening, but the exact timing of their arrival is still being dialed in. If supercells develop, which is possible given the deterioration of the high pressure dome over the area, then large hail could also occur in any storms that develop, along with the possibility of isolated tornadoes.
