Summer may still be several days away, but hot and humid weather has arrived in Chicago.
"Temperatures are currently 20 degrees warmer than yesterday," NBC 5 Meteorologist Alicia Roman said around 5 a.m., of 60-degree readings across the area.
Wednesday was also expected to be mostly dry, Roman said, though showers and storms were expected to move in Thursday afternoon. Some of those storms, Roman said, could turn strong to severe, especially in central and southern parts.
