hey, it's me -- water. i was trying to figure out how i could get rid of 99% of the lead i can pick up traveling through your pipes and then... [ click ] ...it just clicked. get it? it clicked... like the thing. click. >> today was very nice not too cold, not too hot. >> it will be a degree or two warmer away from the water on

wednesday which is kind of nice. we've passed midnight. and then we turn the winds northeast. it back into the basement on the temperatures. look at this. i'm sure there are folks studying the northern horizon particularly in the upper midwest wondering if we'll get a second night of these northern lights. these were taken by brian and sean malone. sean has a photographer in marquette michigan taken on the shores of lake superior last night. the university of alaska that issues aurora forecasts, says if you're north of madison wisconsin lansing, michigan line, you might on the horizon see these northern lights tonight, as you go further north you have a better chance. what we're watching are clouds marching in our direction. there was a blisteringly hot dome of air to the west. it will be there again tomorrow with record high 90 degree temperatures in the plains and these little clusters of showers like these that are approaching from the northwest and could be

in later this morning. around the periphery of that hot air dome that sent temperatures up to 100 degrees locally in a few spots in nebraska today, down into sections of arizona. records were set in the western u.s. states today with cool air bottled up to the north. every time one of these weather systems goes by it turns the winds northeast and we tap some of the cool air and bring it in and hold this higher at bay. hard to believe, 90-degree temperatures within 500 miles. nebraska 95. north platte at 93. imperial nebraska 92. amazingly warm temperatures. still warm in the plains at this hour. we're at 53 in chicago. we'll have a wind blowing off the lake today so that will keep the warmest air just west but sets the stage for possible severe weather developing late in the day in downstate illinois

and indiana and perhaps into our extreme southern suburbs as you get around morris and kankakee. nine degrees warmer at this hour than 24 hours ago thanks to a south wind blowing and a dew point that's starting to come up a little bit. we've had dry air which was able to cool off. moderate values of grass, tree and weed. mold spores low. here's the hot dome jet stream that carries the weather systems around it. no accident that the jet is where it is. tomorrow, we'll have a powerful band over us and a little divergence in the flow which indicates air could be rising. thunderstorms could be bubbling up and carrying some of this wind energy down. later in the day especially we could have some light showers. we don't worry about it being severe initially but this setup could come in and bring the severe weather in after that so we'll have to keep an eye on that. this would be mainly in downstate areas of illinois and then here's the next wind max coming into the western united states, and this thing is going to barrel across the country

set up a windy, wet storm as we get into the weekend. bill schneider, if you're back in the office and can advance this, that would be great because we're not getting it to happen here but i'll tell you this northwest flow means we will not be warm here while the plains states will be getting up into the 90's. it's the 15th driest april in the past 142 years. we've had .93 of an inch of rain 36% normal over 1/3 normal and a quarter of what we had at this time a year ago. we'll get a little bit of rain out of this system tomorrow but not a lot. it looks like this system will drop southeastward. we'll be in the warm sector in our southern and western suburbs and east wind off the lake will keep it cooler in the city. another high pressure of canadian origin that blows the winds northeast. that's during the day on thursday. by friday, the next storm is spinning up and this comes at us friday night and saturday for what looks to be like a very windy wet weather pattern. if you look carefully at the

precipitation area our model is developing. it indicates some mixed ice pellets perhaps in southern wisconsin. that's friday afternoon and evening, so we'll keep an eye on that. here are these little paltry amounts of rain that we get tomorrow. perhaps some better rain and certainly better rains downstate and there is the severe weather risk area out to the west and south of us during the day tomorrow, coming just about up into chicago and the southern suburbs. but it does look like there is quite a warm-up on the way next week. it won't start that way on monday. but by tuesday, we could be in the 70's and stay there for the better part of next week if all goes well. partly cloudy tonight. lows, 38 inland. 50 at the lakeshore and 47 should be the low, right at o'hare field. southeast winds at four to 13. tomorrow mixture of sun but clouding over. several clusters of showers, a clap of thunder in the late morning hours and then the precipitation mixed sun that warms things up to 68 inland

even some low 70's in the far west suburbs. 55 to 60 at chicago's lakeshore. these storms are the ones that could be heavy or severe in the downstate areas and southern suburbs. for us they will be over early. giving way to partly cloudy or mostly cloudy. windy and cooler weather late. low of 48. then thursday partly cloudy. blustery cooler. 52 but lowering into the mid-40's at the lakeshore because of those northeast winds. and the forecast takes us down to 52 on thursday. 40's at the lakeshore. 49 on friday. 46 on saturday and 54 on sunday. blustery rain could come down oh, probably friday night and into saturday morning. taper off to sprinkles in the afternoon. and when the sun is out but it will be cooler on sunday. 70s by tuesday. >> thank you tom. appreciate it. >> you bet. take care. go to bed.

>> hanging out late with us. >> did you hear the champagne cork? >> all the way from indianapolis. >> my gosh. >> sitting around in their hotel rooms at indiana watching miami lose to boston in a game that looked suspiciously lake a tank job. in any event the bulls, they did run through their last workout before the playoffs opened up. they are on the road at indy tomorrow and home against cleveland to finish up on thursday. the best thing about today's practice is everybody was on the floor. it hasn't happened much and it's comforting to the coach. >> finally we do have everyone

so that's good. this was, you know a good break, you know when i say break but you have a lot of things that you have to get accomplished to prepare yourself. >> we got everybody back. we might be the deepest team in the league and getting buys back, if he can stay healthy throughout the playoffs it should be a fun run. >> white sox face a guy named tommy milone. his break fast baseball couldn't break mike's make-up mirror. they lose out on a chance to take over the a.l. central. >> talking draft here i'm guessing. >> gavin floyd pitched into the eighth inning and gave the a's nothing but walked a guy in the eighth. they pulled him and matt thornton came on untouchable so far this season until kurt suzuki touched him up. a chalk double that landed on

the line. that drove in the first run. suzuki would score a base hit later on. only four hits either way but the sox lose it 2-0, their four-game winning streak is over. last night the black, tonight the cubs for michael jordan. he's leading the bobcats off his itinerary. cubs down in the ninth, not anymore. talking up brian on the radio show this morning, he's making me look good. solo homer send it into extras at wrigley. in the camp two on two outs. soriano ate up tyler green with a shot to second. the winning run and for the second night in a row it's a walk-off win for the cubs over the cardinals. 3-2 in 10 innings the bears announced the winner of the annual awards today. linebacker roach is the veteran award winner and lineman stephen, the rookie recipient named in honor of the late bears running back. attention goes to the nfl draft

on thursday. they couldn't be more ready to do some picking. >> going into the draft you want to have your roster as strong as it can be before the draft. we feel like we've done that i can't see anything else we could have done to improve our ball club before the draft so now, with the draft, you're just ready for that next step to happen. and again, it's like practicing you're feeling prepared and you can't wait to play the game that's where we are. >> the blackhawks seabrook easing his hockey -- shot from the circle tipped in the wolves win 3-2 they trail 2-1 in the series game four tomorrow night. andrew luck will be the first pick in the nfl draft on thursday and ron artest has seven games for elbowing. >> good for him. >> see you guys. >> tomorrow at 5:00 wiz at the stock market and they are not even out of high school.
