As June enters its second week, Chicago continues to experience cool
weather. Few area residents have even considered turning on the air
conditioning so far this season and some still have had their furnaces
running on recent cool mornings. Heat and humidity have remained bottled
up across the Southern states while a preponderance of north and
northeast winds have kept the city quite chilly. Except for a brief
intrusion of warmth and humidity Monday, little change in the cool
pattern is expected in the week ahead.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected to traverse the area today and
Monday. With temperatures in the 80s just south of Chicago colliding
with chilly 40s and 50s to the north, strong storms are possible with
the potential for some heavy rainfall through Monday evening. So far this spring there has been little severe weather in the Chicago area. While frequent rains have targeted the area, the lack of true warmth and 70 degree Gulf-level dew points have kept severe weather espisodes to a minimum.
Record late-season snow hits North Dakota
The latest-in-the season measurable snow on record whitened portions of western North Dakota Saturday as two to three inches of snow fell near Dickinson. Several record lows were set across the upper Midwest Saturday including 27 at International Falls, 31 at Rhinelander, Wis., and 32 at Marquette,
Mich.
