And don't let the clouds and rain fool you. The Chicago area is under a heat advisory from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. and a dry weather warning until 4 p.m.—just because there's rain doesn't mean it's wet enough to be smoking in the forest preserves. As for the mercury, it's expected to reach 101 today, according to Skilling. Heat indices across the area could reach 105. Our roller coaster week of weather continues.
