Heat indices will hit 105-degrees this week, and severe thunderstorms, large hail and a brief tornado are possible Monday, the National Weather Service said.
“There’s also the potential for a brief tornado,” he added. Lincoln encouraged people in northeastern Illinois to pay attention to the weather throughout the day and have multiple ways to receive safety alerts as meteorologists learn more.
As the severe weather leaves, extreme heat will follow. Temperatures in the high 90s will hit Chicago on Tuesday and Wednesday.The hot weather could set local records. Tuesday’s projected high of 98 degrees is just shy of the 99-degree record high for June 14, and Wednesday’s high of 97 degrees edges June 15′s historic high mark: 95 degrees set in 1994.
But it will feel even hotter. High levels of humidity will make the heat index — how the heat is felt by the body — warmer, elevating the index to around 105 degrees, Lincoln said.The National Weather Service advises Chicagoans to limit outdoor activity, check in on neighbors and family and not leave children or pets in cars.
