...A PERIOD OF DANGEROUS HEAT EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS
AND NORTHWEST INDIANA...
.A multiple day episode of dangerous heat is expected later this
week centered on Friday into the start of the weekend. This heat
will expand into the area Thursday afternoon and persist through
Friday and into Saturday. There is a potential for showers and
thunderstorms Thursday morning that may keep Thursday cooler than
forecast, but confidence is increasing in dangerous heat arriving

Chicago is most susceptible to night time temperatures that do not
cool significantly, limiting the amount of relief that can occur
at night.
