Warming weather in Chicago

The work week begins with mild weather after the frigid cold and Sunday's wintry mix, with potentially record temperatures and heavy rain with possible flooding Tuesday.
Temperatures will start to climb tonight after peaking in the mid-40s, and by Tuesday they'll hit the mid-60s, according to the weather service. The record high for Jan. 29 in Chicago is 59 degrees set in 1914.
Tuesday will hardly be a day at the beach, though: Heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected starting in the afternoon, and the brewing storm has prompted the weather service to issue a hazardous weather outlook, warning of lightning, fog, downpours and hail.
It has also issued a flood watch from Tuesday morning through Tuesday evening for Cook, Ford, Grundy, Iroquois, Kankakee, Livingston and Will counties in Illinois and Benton, Jasper, Lake, Newton and Porter counties in northwest Indiana.
With frozen ground and predictions of as much as two inches of rain in an area around a line stretching from Pontiac to Gary, the agency warns that a lot of that rain could end up running off into local rivers and streams that can rapidly overflow their banks.
