The work week begins with mild weather after the frigid cold and Sunday's wintry mix, with potentially record temperatures and heavy rain Tuesday.
Today will be cloudy, with highs reaching the 40s, according to the National Weather Service. Showers and thunderstorms are possible overnight.
Temperatures will start to climb tonight, 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.
