A low pressure remnant will move through the Chicago area from the south Wednesday, spawning widespread showers and thunderstorm downpours. Probably the strongest storms will occur in the afternoon and early evening, with some flooding in spots of as much as 2 inches of rain or more.
The storm system will move off to the northeast with southwest winds briefly boosting readings back to the 90-degree mark Thursday. Then the real cool-down starts Friday, when a cold front sweeps south out of Wisconsin, swinging winds around to the northeast and ushering cooler, more seasonable and less humid air into the area that will last through this coming weekend.
