Gathering clouds and winds off chilly Lake Michigan will suppress temperatures Monday, keeping readings mainly in the 60s with areas along the immediate lakefront hard-pressed to break 60 degrees. In 2004, it reached 66 degrees.
Most of this holiday should be dry, but showers could reach southern parts of the Chicago area by nightfall. It's all downhill from there as a sluggish low pressure system takes up residence across the Midwest, bringing the city a rainy period that could last into Thursday. This system brought upward of 2 feet of rain to Florida last week and continues to produce impressive rainfall totals. The Little Rock area received more than 2 inches of rain Sunday, and nearly 3 inches doused Lake Charles, La. Flash flooding occurred in northeast Arkansas, and twisters were sighted in northwest Tennessee and southeast Missouri.

On May 25, 1896, an F3 tornado did considerable damage as it cut a 4.5-mile path from Park Ridge to Niles. Areas in Edison Park and Norwood Park were hit hard.
