we did see one shower earlier. we're just looking at dry back to the west around chicago, this is what i'm talking about, we've seen moisture in storms come through parts of oklahoma, missouri, right on in towards ccago and then upand over our area. that's why the heat is building down to the south. that's why we continue to have this stormy track.oi that's g to be the case the next couple of days too. it's also going to give us a chance for those storms tomorrow. tomorrow high temperature of 93 degrees. an early storm. by early i'm talking about t sendi kids out to the bus stop, but becoming sunny and rather hot. here is that school day forecast. degrees at the bus stop with some showers, maybe some thunderstorms. not everywhere, but some could be on the heavy side. think about that. recess, temperature of 86 really looking good out there for the kids at recess. 92 by the time we're picking up the kids. it's going to be a hot day. not super humid but i am going 93 for the official high tomorrow. if we do hit 93, that will be the hottest day we've seen so

far this year. 88 on wednesday. 40% chance of afternoon showers and storms. hwondering exactly we they set up. if they set up farther north, it might not be theain. that's something to think about too. 90 on thursday. 86 on friday. take a look at where we author weekend. coming in towards june, everybody. june. >> golly. >> 85 on saturday. 84 on sunday with a chancef some showers and storms. maybe even some stronger storms coming up on sunda and some great weather as we head to the first full week of june. 82 and beautiful sunshine on monday. >> can't believe we're talking june already. >> it's incredible. memorial day mark the unofficial start of summer and the start of grilling season. >> at 4:00 we learned how to do a nice perfectteak, medium, medium rare. this hour we're going to learn about how to do the perfect chicken on the grill. >> tommy mcfly is on the plaza with the chef and he is h off

the grill. >> how do we make the chicken rlly rock? >> this is more fun to say than just butterflying the chicken.l alt is is cutting the backbone out of the chicken. it's a lotasier than it sounds. s scissor or a knife cutting straight down the back. you've got to be ready to cut through bones. the end result is worth it. another thing is dry run. inead of getting the skin all wet and the bird all wet and taking up way too much space, all you need is a plate. >> this is goiim to be le chili chicken. >> correct. what we have is a generous amount of salt. i like to get a little bit of lime swret zest in there also. is is pepper that's used in middle eastern and greek cuisine. smoked pap rerika.

if you want to smell this, this is pure magic. mix everything together and witz the limest and the salt, you really want to rub it in to bring out the oil of the lime. generously season your bird with the help ofhe wing. >> it really is mother nature helpi us grill today. >> you want flavor to be everywhere. you want at least four hours at a bare minimum, but the fact is overnight is great. about 12 hours or so. you go up to 24 hours, but i wouldn't do much more than that. you're going to pull too much moisture out of the bird. the first thing you want to do when you bring it out, you want to it out about 30, 45 minutes before you want to cook it. you want to take the chill off of it, bring it up to room temperature. you'll just get it to cook more evenly. when you get it out, you're going to notice moisture that

has pulled out of the skin. that's the salt doing its job. so a towel, paper towel, your best napkins, whatever you prefer to use. you want to dab the skin dry. dry skin equals krscrispy skin. >> what do you recommend for temperature of the grill? >> 300, 350. i prefer on the lower side, but you wan bring your grill up to about0, 50 degrees above where you want it. when you open the lid, you're going to lose about 50 degrees of heat. eind that hot spot and keep your breast towards cooler side of the grill. your legs will be moreover some dire heato they'll cook a little bit faster and then you'll get the breast and the leg finished at the same time. so these are grillaves which you can use anything. plate saute pan or a that you don't have too much love. this isn't putting a lot of weight on the chicken, but it is

maintaining surface contact with the grill to mack myself that crispy skin that you're looking for. >> how long it will take? 400 for this to happen on a grill at hom >> about 35, 40 minutes. you want t throw it on, keep the lid closed. >> you flip it about halfway through. >> halfway through, one time. this is a little bit of olive oil, garlic, rosemary. vinegar and black ppper. i just baste the bird while it's on the grill just to get some tra flavor in there. >> i like when he put the olive oil with the rosemary. that's >>nice. interesting. trying to get it crispy. you learn something new every day. >> at 6:00 we'll learn how to do the perfect fish. while many of us will cookout, there is a reminer that day is about so much
