CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Tired of waiting for summer? Give it a few more days. Forecasters say we're in for hot, humid weather.
Wait for it: Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected overnight and through Sunday -- the heaviest rain and possibly hail is expected to hit between 4 to 7 p.m. Highs should be 75 to 85 degrees, the National Weather Service Chicago reports.
But then, the Chicagoland heads toward warmer weather at the beginning of the week, with warm, breezy conditions on Monday and Tuesday with highs in the low 80s.
Wednesday and Thursday will be much hotter, with highs near 87 to 89 degrees. Mugginess, forecasters said, will hit Thursday.
We know what you're thinking: It's never taken so long to crack 85 degrees. Not quite.
The National Weather Service Chicago said this year is the fifth time since 1872 that Chicago's first 85-degree day hit after June 22.
