Chicagoans will experience a mix of weather conditions throughout the coming week, according to forecasts. After an agreeable Friday with sunshine and temperatures around 60 degrees, the weekend anticipates a shift to wetter conditions. The National Weather Service predicts "showers, mainly after 9pm" tonight, with lows hovering around 51 degrees, and an "80%" chance of precipitation.
These showers are expected to deliver between a tenth and a quarter of an inch of rainfall, reports from the National Weather Service. Residents can expect the drizzle to dissipate before 9 am Sunday, but another chance of showers could emerge afternoon. Highs are set to rise near 62 degrees with a breezy southwest wind reaching up to 30 mph.
In contrast, Veterans Day will see mostly sunny skies and more moderate highs near 60, as per the National Weather Service outlook. However, Monday evening's conditions will shift to mostly cloudy with a low of around 43. Early next week, there's a slight downturn in temperature, with the National Weather Service projecting a high of 54 on a sunny Tuesday, followed by a partly cloudy night with lows around 44.
The pendulum swings back midweek with a chance of rain on Wednesday and partly sunny skies yielding a high near 60 degrees. This weather pattern echoes the previous week's mix of sunshine and rain showers, teasing the consistent fall coolness desired by many. The latter part of the week offers a temporary respite from rain, with partly cloudy nights and largely sunny days, according to the National Weather Service.
Thursday's high is expected to be near 55, while Friday should be mostly sunny, with a high nearing 57 degrees. Parallel to the forecast, FOX 32 Chicago notes that while Wednesday signifies a resurgence in precipitation, the temperatures should "stay above average with highs in the mid to upper 50s.".
