The possibility of tornadoes is minimal, yet not entirely absent.

Much of the Chicago area is under a Level 3 threat of severe weather.

The far south and southwest suburbs are under a Level 2 risk.

There is a higher risk in southern Wisconsin and east across the lake into Michigan.

If storms were to occur, they would likely develop over Cook or DuPage counties and then quickly move to the northeast.

The record high for Thursday is 91 degrees, but some parts of the area might see 92.

It will also be humid.

Beyoncé’s “COWBOY CARTER TOUR” is set to take the stage at Soldier Field at 7 p.m. Thursday.

ABC7 Chicago meteorologists said if there is lightning in the area – it could impact the concert.

The Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communications said it is closely monitoring the weather conditions with the National Weather Service.

Friday will be very windy, with a high risk of spreading brushfires. Winds could gust above 45 mph.

Highs on Friday will be in the mid to upper 80s again.
