Some parts of Chicago saw some steady rain or localized downpours on Thursday morning. For those who did not see rain, it’s feeling steamy.

Some showers are expected to linger around the area through the morning, Butler said.

The risk for severe weather begins around 4 p.m. as heat and humidity build throughout the day, Butler said.

Lollapalooza attendees are urged to have access to weather alerts in the case any watches or warnings are issued.
