EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH ACTIVATED SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY EVENING
Heat from the Plains will begin building in Chicagoland on Friday, and a thin line thunderstorms with a little punch passing Rockford at 5:20 a.m. may or may not hold together as it slowly moves east toward Arlington Heights and the northwest suburbs. The Cardinal expects the storms will stall and/or die off before reaching Arlington Heights. This morning’s low of about 65°F feels cool and/or comfortable.
Weather Radar (also nexrad.chgowx.com) shows a long, thin line of slow, eastward-moving thunderstorms running from north of Madison, WI and south of Peoria … and passing Rockford at about 5:20 a.m. Parts of the line are diminishing and parts are strengthening. The storms are expected to die off before they reach the northwest suburbs, but it is possible they could hold together and reach Arlington Heights about 8:00 a.m.
Thunderstorms with some hail and downpours, mainly well west of the Chicago metro area. #ilwx pic.twitter.com/YXlbYi6oyi

on relatives and neighbors.
