West southwest winds could reach speeds up to 15 mph, with the potential for gusts as high as 25 mph. The forecast, published on the National Weather Service website, also anticipates a "mostly clear" night with lows hovering around 22 degrees.
Tomorrow, the temperature will increase slightly, with "partly sunny" conditions and a high of approximately 42 degrees. As the weekend progresses, temperatures are expected to climb. FOX32 Chicago echoes similar sentiments, indicating the temperature will rise nearly to a comfortable 50 degrees by Sunday.

As Tuesday approaches, the weather will shift to "mostly cloudy" skies with highs dropping back to the upper 30s.
