71 years ago. >> everything. >> all over you. >> i skip the makeup application class when they told me it wasn't to go on my suit. >> get you ready now. >> i'm sorry about that. >> it's mostly rain today? >> tonight. and tomorrow. there is a little weather system coming in and the weekend is looking a little dicier than we thought. you know, we are getting close to this temperature demarcation line. really cool air through the northern tier of states. we will be on the south side of that and that in contrast with hot and humid air over the southern united states sets up an 80 degree north to south u.s. temperature differential. when you do that all weather is driven by temperature variances. the jet stream forms and

impulses form among it and all of the moisture it has. you can get to some storms to develop. did you see those clouds coming in right now? they are the vanguard of an approaching con pct little storm that will fly across the area tonight and tomorrow with gusty winds already showing up in glenview, de kalb, lake geneva and geneva in the fox valley. and you see our flags here at wgn as the clouds take over the skies. blowing out in front right here. here is a view from joliet. we showed you that a tad earlier. kind of a thighs day in joliet. temperatures are pleasant. it's 70. hard to believe that 71 years ago back in 1939 we were in the midst of a late season heat wave that had us flirting with 100 degrees for three days. those president good ol' days. back when you had heat late in the season. we haven't had 100-degree temperatures since 2005 around here. 71 at midway. southeast winds are blowing with gusto. they are up to 18 at times and 74 at hebron, indiana.

73 at this hour and joliet and there is another view from the south suburbs this time. sauk village. well, here is the set up. very cool air over the northern part of the country. there were frost conditions last night in northern wisconsin, upper michigan and hot and humid down south. so between the two air masses we have thunderstorm clusters developing. and they have been heavy rain producers in certain areas as you can see right there. when we say clusters we mean it. these things nail one area and another area nearby doesn't get much at all. at the moment we have high clouds blowing off the storm clusters to the west and that's clouding us over. these will thicken up and expect the clouds to thicken up and rains commence tonight. we will time those in a moment. here are the temperatures flirting with 70 across the metro crair and it's hot south of us. 81 at st. louis. that's warm. but 90 in nashville is downright hot as in 90 in jacksonville, mississippi and 88 in dallas and that air is

human and look how cool it is in the canadian border and north and autumn taking over there and temperatures in the 20s at this hour in northern canada. the shorter days taking their toll on temperatures and giving rise to the cooling there which starts setting up more and more powerful jet streams and that's united states weather of autumn and winter turns more active faster steering winds and forces in the atmosphere to get storms going. 70 in chicago, 61 up the lake at green bay and rhinelander at 49. it's 47 in duluth. many areas registering a temperature drop over the last 24 hours with east winds blowing here at 13. humidity 49% and water at 68 degrees. and the pollen numbers are down. mold spores a moderate ragweed and weed. loyola gottlieb hospital and dr. joseph lea and his staff. here is what we were talking about. powerful jet stream.

look that the batch of winds right there. that white area, that's strong band of winds. when the winds strengthen like that, that's a sign that temperature differentials increasing because cold air is coming south. what it does is this fast west to east flow takes the core of the cool air and ultimately ships it off to the east putting us right here on the class zone between this humid air down to the south and cool air up to the north. so that being the case into the weekend means we see a couple more impulses that might produce rain saturday and one of models say sunday may have a period of rain the whole weekend. here wrist it is raining now and with gusto in the upper mid west. we have big thunderstorms from wisconsin's fox valley north into the north woods in places and other big thunderstorms in parts of missouri and kansas. this area will fill in and we could get in to a third to .9 of an inch of rain tonight and tomorrow combined from this little system. amounts will vary and that's the range we are seeing off the models.

so it's a respect blg rain so nothing like that gargantuan rainstorm we had in july. this afternoon increasing cloudiness, breezy, cooler. 60s at the lake. east, southeast winds blow to 23. tonight, periods of showers and thunderstorms develop and a couple of those could have downpours. we will show you a model depiction of when they arrive and how widespread they will be on the update later in this broadcast. 63 tonight and 67 tomorrow. a cloudy, blustery cool day and showers at times. northwest winds will blow 12 to 24 and the rain will be easing as the day goes on. and beautiful day to end the week on friday. sunshine and bring that sun out. little warmer. get up to 76 and turn the winds to the south, southwest to boot and that also helps to warm us up. and that's the weather picture. we will come back with more on the weekend on the update later on, too. >> we had a good week. >> great period. see you later. time out for trivia. here is our trivia question today. who was the first u.s.
