ILLINOIS — Heavy rain is possible mid-week for the Chicago area, as the remnants of tropical system Beryl moves over Illinois, according to the National Weather Service.

The week will begin with a high of 88 on Monday. The weather service said isolated to scattered storms are possible Monday afternoon.

Tuesday will have a high of 84 and Wednesday a high of 80, as the rain threat increases in the afternoon for areas south of Interstate 80, according to the weather service.

“The remnants of tropical system Beryl will shift through the Ohio Valley region Tuesday night into Wednesday and graze our area,” the weather service said on its Facebook.

Areas south of Chicago will be on the northern edge of the system, and there will be a sharp cut-off from dry conditions to heavy rain, according to the weather service.

Any adjustments north or south for the path of the system would increase or decrease the heavy rain and flooding threat.

Things should dry out on Thursday, which has a high of 83 degrees. Friday should also be dry, with a high of 88, according to the current forecast.
