Forecast: Continued cold, chance of passing flurries
Conditions will continue to be cold in the nighttime and overnight hours and there may be some passing flurries.
Look for Thursday to again start with bone-chilling wind chills, possibly as low as -10 to -15 degrees. The day will give us generous sunshine that will help each that chill slightly by the afternoon, with highs peaking in the lower- or middle-20s.
A fairly steady northwest wind at 10 to 18 mph, with some gusts near 25 mph, will keep wind chills in the single digits during the afternoon.
Lake effect snow looks like it'll impact northwest Indiana overnight tonight and into Thursday morning. A Winter Weather Advisory for LaPorte County, Ind., kicked in at 3 p.m. Wednesday and is set to expire at 6 p.m. Thursday. Areas on the eastern side of Lake Michigan could see between 2 and 7 inches of accumulating snow.

Forecast: Partly cloudy, breezy, mild
Weather Maps Interactive Radar Climate & Environment MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Winds: S at 10-15 mph. Low: 67. A second consecutive warm and summery day is on tap Tuesday. The day opens with a mix of sun and clouds along with some residual haze from Canadian Wildfire smoke. The clouds will grow thicker later in the day, and especially at night. Some improvement in the upper-level smoke is likely later in the day and Tuesday evening as winds aloft from the south/southwest mix out some of the haze out of area skies temporarily. Highs will be even warmer than Monday, reaching the upper 80s, and perhaps touching 90-degrees in some locations. Rain chances are low throughout the day, but start to increase a bit by Tuesday evening, reaching 20% of the area. The Storm Prediction Center has placed the metro area in a level 1 of 5 risk for seeing a strong or severe thunderstorm late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. The primary threats of any storm that could potentially reach severe levels would be damaging winds and small hail.

Monday forecast: Hazy sunshine, temps rising to the mid-80s in Chicagoland
Weather Maps Interactive Radar Climate & Environment If you've been anxiously waiting for summertime weather in Chicagoland, your day has arrived. After a cool start early Monday morning, temperatures will rise all the way into the mid- to upper 80s by the afternoon, a good 10-plus degrees warmer than normal for June 2. We'll also have mostly sunny skies in Chicagoland, but it'll be hazy due to the Canadian wildfires that continue to burn and send smoke in our direction. There is no Air Quality Alert for Chicagoland to start Monday, but we'll keep an eye out if that changes. Winds out of the south will switch to south/southwest later Monday, with gusts up to 20 miles per hour, but it'll be even windier on Tuesday. And also warmer, as Tuesday highs will approach 90 in some parts of Chicagoland. Then it cools back down into the mid-60s for Wednesday, with rain likely. Weather Maps Climate & Environment Interactive Radar Weather Bug Cameras 7-Day Outlook Weather Center Newsletter After our long recent stretch of cooler-than-normal temps, we'll see a big spike to start this week, with hot and humid conditions more in line with mid- or late summer than the first days of June. As you can see below, temps in the mid- to upper 80s are 10-plus degrees warmer than normal for the first days of June. But we're in for a sharp dip on Wednesday, with temps possibly 10 degrees below normal. Things then look to level out close to seasonal averages as we get to the later part of this week and into the weekend. Climate and Environment news: Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
