NBC 5 Meteorologist Pete Sack reported early Tuesday that morning showers in the western part of the state were"slowly but surely" moving into northeast Illinois, with rain likely to hit the Chicago area in the early afternoon."We can' rule out the possibility of a thunderstorm," Sack added, noting the rain was expected to move out by 6 p.m.
"Gusty winds and low afternoon humidities will drive an increased grass and brush fire spread threat," the NWS said, especially east and south of I-55. According to the NWS, south winds could gust 25 to 30 miles per hour Tuesday, with occasional gusts as high as 35 mph possible in the afternoon.
