Sustained winds of 20-30 mph and gusts up to 45 mph, with occasional gusts exceeding 50 mph, are expected. Warmer temperatures are also on the way, with highs in the low 40s on Monday. Rain chances increase late Friday and continue through the weekend.
A wind advisory has been issued for most of northern Illinois , with strong gusts possible as the new work week gets underway. Strong winds out of the southwest will pick up on Monday, bringing sustained winds of 20-to-30 miles per hour throughout the late morning and the afternoon hours. Gusts of up to 45 miles per hour are expected, and occasional gusts in excess of 50 miles per hour will be possible, especially in areas closer to Lake Michigan.
The winds will accompany warmer temperatures, which are expected to take hold after a week of below-freezing weather. High temperatures Monday will rise into the low-40s, and the Chicago area will see temperatures consistently around that level for most of the week. A storm system will push through the area late Friday, bringing a chance of rain to the upper Midwest, and those chances of precipitation will continue through the end of the weekend. Temperatures are expected to dip back toward their seasonal averages to start the month of February. More information will be made available by the NBC 5 Storm Team throughout the week, both on the NBC 5 News and on the NBC Chicago app
