Discussion
Enhanced moisture from the southeastern states has pushed into the region and this tropical air mass will result in occasional showers both today and on Friday and there can be some embedded strong thunderstorm activity as well; especially, tomorrow afternoon/evening. A strong cool front will arrive by early Saturday and a shower threat may linger in the morning, but the weather will turn out to be dry and quite cool for the remainder of the weekend. In fact, the air mass arriving this weekend will be very cool for this time of year and the month of June could actually start off on quite a chilly note early Monday (June 1) with temperatures reaching the 40's across the northern and western suburbs.
