Temperatures were expected to rise from the 40s into the 60s and could even approach 70 degrees, Donofrio said.Meteorologists were also tracking a band of severe thunderstorms crossing Iowa, and “several rounds” of storms are expected to hit Chicago and the suburbs overnight and early Wednesday, Donofrio said.
