CHICAGO WEATHER: Strong Winds And Lakeshore Flood Advisory To Follow Dropping Temperatures Late Thursday
CHICAGO (CBS)--Dropping temperatures and diminishing showers late Thursday will pave the way for a very windy day Friday, with gusts from the north reaching up to 45 MPH.
A low pressure system over the Ohio Valley borders high pressure that will move in from the west.
The Chicago area is sandwiched in between both fronts, according to CBS 2 meteorologist Mary Kay Kleist.
High winds, cool temperatures and possible lakeshore flooding are expected Friday before a calm weekend ahead.
A Lakeshore Flood Advisory is in effect from 4 p.m. Friday until 1 a.m. Saturday.
