Tim's Weather World: Summer & Storms Back By Friday

| | Comments (2)

If it feels like this has been an unusually cool July so far, you are right.  This is the coolest July in 25 years, at least so far.  That will change though by Friday.  Watch for the return of some heat and humidity for the end of the week.  We could hit 90 in a few southern suburbs Friday.  Along with the return of heat and humidity comes an increased risk for severe weather.  The Storm Prediction Center has outlook northern Illinois & northwest Indiana for a risk of severe weather this Friday.

I can't seem to remember a summer with so many daily/hourly changes in forcasting. The NOAA site will show three days of sun with no rain on Monday and then on Monday it will show 7 days of rain? Never have I seen this happen with such frequency? What is going on?

This is bad news for me - coming to Chicago Friday to Saturday for an overnight shopping trip from Lansing on the Amtrak. BOO!
