Current Chicago Radar
Home
Hello everybody! This is the website of Chicago based storm chaser and freelance weather videographer Adam Lucio. It was officially launched on March 4th, 2009. There is always something going on around here and updates are on a random yet frequent basis. For more information about the site please see the 'About' section. All content is viewable from the menu bars on the side. Thank you for visiting and check back soon!
 
**SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!** THE STORE IS NOW OPEN! CHECK IT OUT!
 
UPCOMING CHASE PLANS: None.
Severe weather will take a couple days off while the pattern recharges itself. Nothing catches my attention in the near future that says a chase is needed. A warm and muggy air mass will make its way back into the midwest and northern plains midweek though, and with that there will be the potential for severe storms.
 
Local Area Forecast Summary: 7-25-10
Enjoy the break from the heat, humidity and storms while you can. Once Wednesday rolls around it will all come back into the picture. The upcoming weekend looks good though!
