Chicago residents can anticipate an eclectic mix of weather in the coming days, starting from a slightly unsettled pattern today with "scattered showers before 1pm," as reported by the National Weather Service . This will be followed by "likely and possibly a thunderstorm between 1pm and 4pm," with a 40% possibility of precipitation throughout these periods. Despite the scattered showers, temperatures are projected not to rise above 57 degrees today, with gusty north winds making it feel cooler.
Tonight promises to be mostly quiet, barring a 10 percent chance of showers according to the National Weather Service. The weekend should abruptly switch gears towards a sunnier disposition with a high near 50 degrees expected on Saturday. Temperatures soared to the 80s on Thursday, but a "cooler air" intrusion is to introduce more modest highs close to 70 degrees today in Chicago, as FOX 32 Chicago detailed.
This refreshing change comes with "a few showers and a small chance of an isolated thunderstorm," yet residents shouldn't expect "widespread or heavy rainfall" during this transition. As the city moves into the weekend, sunny skies are eagerly anticipated. However, the cool influence continues to persist, with tomorrow likely to show the mercury struggling to rise above the 50s.
Yet, the start of the new week promises to significantly warm up, as Monday is set to "fire up the temperatures to likely pass 80 degrees," with the potential for nighttime thunderstorms, as described by FOX 32 Chicago . Uncertainty lingers over the severity of the storms expected on Tuesday. Chicagoans gearing up for outdoor activities on the weekend can look forward to "mostly sunny" days with temperatures hovering around the low 60s to the lower 70s, as described by both the National Weather Service and FOX 32 Chicago.
Particularly noteworthy is the proximity to Lake Michigan, which may keep temperatures down for lakeside communities. The evolving forecast will duly cater to those in the Windy City ready to savor the swings of spring weather..
