Neither Saturday nor Sunday is expected to have “anything too strong or severe,” according to the National Weather Service, but rain is possible.

Kevin Doom, meteorologist with Chicago’s National Weather Service, said scattered showers are on tap for most of Saturday with a “good chance for a few afternoon and evening thunderstorms.” Sunday’s rain will not be as widespread, Doom said, with a slightly lower chance of wet, stormy weather throughout the day. Neither day is expected to have “anything too strong or severe,” he said, but some heavy downpours with scattered thunder and lightning are possible.
Temperatures will be in the upper 70s, closer to 80, Saturday and around the mid-70s on Sunday, Doom said. Lows for both days will be around the mid-60s.Doom said thunderstorms could affect the Air and Water Show Saturday but expects the late morning and early afternoon “should be quiet enough” for the show to go on as planned. The show is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.
Doom said spectators of the show out on the lakefront this weekend should bring along some rain gear in case of inclement weather.
