Chicago, IL – Residents in the Chicagoland area can expect a dramatic shift in weather conditions as they move into the new week.
After a weekend that promises unseasonably warm sunshine, with highs soaring between 67 to 82 degrees, attention turns to the forecasted turbulent weather ahead. According to the National Weather Service in Chicago, a significant drop in temperatures will occur Sunday afternoon due to a lake-enhanced cold front. This cooling effect will be particularly notable within several miles of Lake Michigan.
Starting late Monday night through Tuesday night, the area is set to experience a series of showers and thunderstorms. The Weather Service warns of a potential for strong to severe thunderstorms on Tuesday afternoon and evening, extending into the overnight hours. With the approach of the storms, residents should prepare for possible severe weather conditions and stay informed about the latest weather updates.
