Chicago braces for a wet start to the week as Monday brings heavy rain and scattered thundershowers across the city. Early today, hefty pockets of rainfall were detected in Cook, Lake, and Will counties, according to NBC Chicago.

The heavy rain and thundershowers are expected to impact both morning and afternoon commutes, making it a challenging day for the city's residents.

Chicago's situation is not expected to improve until Tuesday, with drizzle still lingering near the lake. The forecast suggests highs in the upper 60s for Monday and Tuesday, as reported by ABC 7 Chicago. However, weather is expected to improve by midweek, with a warming trend, a rise in temperatures and clear skies.

By Wednesday, temperatures are predicted to be in the low 60s near the lake, with Thursday bringing warmer and dry conditions along with highs reaching 75, per the ABC 7 Chicago forecast. The weekend bodes well for the city, offering pleasant weather conditions, plenty of sunshine, and a much-needed respite for residents who have braved thundershowers and incessant rain.
