Good afternoon, Chicago.
National Weather Service officials are expecting the season’s first frost to hit the area overnight following a day of showers and possible thunderstorms near Lake Michigan.
Officials said there was a chance of lake effect showers and isolated thunderstorms capable of producing small hail and gusty winds through Tuesday evening. Then temperatures were expected to drop to a low of 41 degrees, making way for frost overnight into Wednesday morning across northern Illinois, officials said.
