A quick-moving system will pass through the area on Tuesday, bringing clouds, gusty winds, and possibly scattered rain or a wintry mix.

After a 12-day stretch of unseasonably warm temperatures, it was a cold and blustery weekend with below average temperatures in the 20s to near 30 degrees.

Scattered showers and a few storms will be possible this evening and tonight, but the overall threat of severe storms in Chicagoland appears fairly low. The higher severe threat remains south across central Illinois and central Indiana.

It was another very warm day by February standards with afternoon temperatures soaring into the low to mid 60s.

With winds gusting as high as 35-40 mph and low relative humidity, a Fire Weather Watch has been issued for parts of the area from Wednesday morning through Wednesday evening.

Rain showers move in by early Tuesday evening and linger overnight.

Temperatures soared into the upper 50s and low 60s areawide under mostly sunny skies on Sunday in Chicago.

High temperatures ranged from mid 30s at the lakefront to near 50 degrees inland on Thursday. Tonight will be mostly clear to partly cloudy with lows in the mid to upper 20s.

Another stunning day in the books! Temperatures warmed into the lower 40s for most of Chicagoland this afternoon under sunny skies.
