Spring is my favorite of the 4 seasons for a multitude of reasons. Temperatures gradually warm, flowers start to bloom, and of course I do love springtime thunderstorms. But one of the main reasons why I love spring, baseball season gets underway!
For Milwaukee Brewers fans, you'll have to wait until Friday as today's game against the New York Mets was postponed due to inclement weather. For the White Sox and Cubbies, the forecast looks great with both games featuring a decent amount of sunshine. Of course with the Cubs starting their season against the 2023 World Champs in Arlington, TX, temperatures will be MUCH warmer than in Chicago.
Locally, expect similar conditions to what those will experience at Guaranteed Rate Field today, mixed sunshine with highs in the upper 40s.
A lifting warm front may pose a threat for a passing shower or two, especially for those who live along and south of Interstate 88. From there, skies remain partly cloudy overnight, with temperatures falling back into the low 30s.
Most of Friday will be dry, with highs peaking in the upper 50s under partly cloudy skies. It's towards the late-day hours where this warm front will play a role in even higher rain chances, one that does include the potential for isolated thunderstorms.
Current thinking suggests that thunderstorms Friday evening into Saturday morning won't pose a threat for severe weather. However, the Storm Prediction Center has kept all of N. Illinois and S. Wisconsin under a general (non-severe) thunderstorm risk. Meaning, storms will only pose a threat for heavy downpours, lightning,
and even small sized hail with the strongest updrafts. Any chance for
rain should be out of the region by sunrise Saturday morning.
