Good Thursday, folks. It’s another nice weather day across the region as our temps slowly return toward more typical summer readings. Once into the weekend, we will find the possibility of thunderstorms returning to the region, kicking off a stormy end to June and beginning to July.
Temps on our Thursday start in the 50s and end in the low and middle 80s. Humidity levels are still down, so this is another winner of a weather day. There is a chance for a shower or storm to impact the north and west late today or tonight. Here are your radars to see just how close this action can get…
The numbers rise a bit on Friday as some thunderstorms get closer to northern and western parts of the state. The best threat for storms returns to the region later in the weekend and that slowly overtakes the pattern into early next week. Rounds of storms look likely during this time…
The heaviest rain corridor continues to focus a little farther north and west right now.
The tropics may have something to say in the overall pattern as we head into early July and the NHC is showing a couple of areas well out in the Atlantic…
It’s early for systems to track like that across the Atlantic, but it can happen this time of year.
The GFS has lost the tropical system for the holiday weekend, but has some action in the Gulf and keeps storms around here. It also has a storm well out in the Atlantic curving away from the states…
We shall see. Make it a good one and take care.
GFS has been awful this year.
Several inches of rain are possible for much of Northern and Central IL, including the Chicago area, from this afternoon through Saturday night. That’s bad news for the people who are in the process of cleaning up the big mess from Sunday night’s EF-3 Tornado in DuPage County.
Here is the final revised summary of the severe weather and tornadoes Sunday night that occurred in the Chicago area, including some amazing photos of the tornado damage in Naperville and Woodridge. http://weather.gov/lot/2021jun2021
Sorry for the people who have lost their homes and their lively hood due to the Tornado Mike. I was in a Tornado once an EF 0 which twisted five large trees out of the ground along my long driveway in Evansville, Indiana. I’ve seen funnels here where I live now but no touch downs have occurred.
Perfect Summer weather here in Kentucky. Something will soon change in the atmosphere to mess it up. It will probably be the Tropics.
