Grayslake Week Ahead Weather: Expect Rain, Snow

GRAYSLAKE, IL — We can expect precipitation throughout the week according to the National Weather Service, as chances of showers and even snow pepper the weather forecast. Monday should stay mostly cloudy with rain and drizzle throughout the day.

The National Weather Service issued a hazardous weather outlook, warning of a limited thunderstorm risk Monday, but largely south of I-80.

The rain should continue through the night and into Tuesday, when we can possibly expect an afternoon thunderstorm and gusts. More showers Tuesday night will potentially turn into snow, but shouldn't accumulate much and may melt off by Wednesday morning.

Thursday is expected to rain, but we should get a break on Friday as the forecast is partly sunny.
