Severe thunderstorm warnings popped off in the greater Chicago area through the evening Thursday, forcing the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from the Windy City Smokeout.

Most of Chicago will see temps in the mid-80s with lower 80s near the lake and northwest suburbs. Much of the city cleared out nicely after overnight showers and storms. Although there was still lingering cloud cover early Saturday morning, the city should be rain-free for the most part.
