Chicago weather: Severe Thunderstorm Watch canceled, cooler temps expected

CHICAGO - Scattered storms that developed earlier this evening have dissipated, and the Severe Thunderstorm Watch that was in effect until midnight has been canceled.

Although storms are still possible tonight, the likelihood of severe weather is low, with the best chance for storms near the Wisconsin/Illinois border.

After several days of extreme heat and humidity, parts of Chicagoland will experience relief on Tuesday. High temperatures are expected to reach the 70s north of Interstate 80, while areas south of I-80 will remain warm and humid, with highs potentially reaching the mid to upper 80s. There is a slight chance of a shower or storm on Tuesday, but most areas are expected to remain dry.

The remainder of the week is forecast to be calm and sunny, with high temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s from Wednesday through Sunday.
