A cold front is expected to pass through the city in the afternoon raising the possibility for scattered showers or storms developing.
The Storm Prediction Center has the Chicago area in the general risk category for storms, meaning no severe weather is initially expected but heavy downpours are possible.
Temperatures Thursday and throughout the weekend will be in the upper 70s to mid-80s.
