With heavy downpours, lightning, dense fog, some small hail and a thunderstorm racing through the region early Thursday morning, there's no doubt that the spring season has officially hit Chicago.
Though Thursday afternoon is expected to dry out, the weather forecast for the morning commute is looking soggy and slippery. Friday and into the weekend, another storm system is set to move across the area, with colder temperatures, spotty showers, and a chance of snow in some parts.
As you look for your rain boots and umbrellas, here's a breakdown from the NBC 5 Storm of the weather forecast for Thursday and into the weekend.According to the NBC 5 Storm Team, scattered showers and a few storms area-wide are expected to continue as the sun comes up and into the daylight hours. However, steadier rain and showers are predicted to gradually come to end around 7 a.m., forecast models show, with some drizzle sticking around for the morning commute.
Thursday afternoon will see drier conditions, although some patchy drizzle is expected to linger as the weather pattern continues to move eastward. And though the rain may be coming to an end, the NBC 5 Storm Team reports gusty winds, cloudy skies and colder air will move in, with temperatures falling to the upper 30s to low 40s.
