Chicago, there's a severe thunderstorm warning active right now. This isn't a watch.
Now here's the thing about today's temperatures. It's a split situation.
The story doesn't end this afternoon. There's another round to watch for overnight.
Here's the upside of all this storm activity. Saturday is shaping up to be the warmest day of the week, possibly the best single day of the weekend if timing cooperates.
Don't get too attached to that warmth though. Early next week, the pattern shifts.
Chicago. Storm warning this morning, so take it seriously on that commute.
