Today's Weather: Humid And Wet

By Lisa White in News on May 8, 2015 1:20PM

Our finicky sinuses at the Chicagoist headquarters have already alerted us that a cold front is near and sure enough, Skilling promises thunderstorms as this approaching cold front moves into our area. For now it's sunny and humid outside. We're starting the day with temps that are usually near the normal high already for this time of the year. We'll likely creep past the 80 degree mark today. Clouds will move in and with them the possibility of thunderstorms later this afternoon and through the evening.

Hopefully you're a fan of rain and thunderstorms, because it's looking like we'll have a wet weekend and start of the next week. The forecast shows thunderstorms across the area with only a break when we hit Tuesday. Make sure you've got an umbrella this weekend!
