Residents of Chicago will navigate a veil of dense fog this morning as authorities have issued a fog advisory for Cook County and surrounding areas. According to a report from CBS News, visibility is expected to be near zero in many locations until noon today. The National Weather Service advises motorists to exercise caution, using low-beam headlights to cut through the pervasive mist.
While the early morning rain is expected to taper off, overcast conditions will persist, eventually giving way to a warmer afternoon with temperatures reaching into the mid-40s. "Drive carefully, as visibility is near 0 miles in multiple locations," cautions the advisory, underscoring the impaired morning commute. Tonight's outlook remains cloudy with the mercury dipping into the lower 40s to upper 30s, as mentioned by a forecast.weather.gov report.
A new weather system is set to introduce rounds of rain late this evening, continuing through the following morning. Monday promises a brief respite with a slight uptick in warmth as highs approach the lower 50s, before winds shift westerly in the afternoon, potentially gusting up to 30 mph.
As the week progresses, Chicago's residents will feel a plunge in temperature, with the high by Saturday barely clambering to the upper 20s, according to the forecast from the National Weather Service. As they brace for the chill, the city faces a 40 percent chance of precipitation Tuesday night, marrying rain and possibly snow. And as the temperature comes crashing down by the end of the week, "Another chance of snow and rain returns on Wednesday," notes CBS News, preparing the city for a definitive wintry turn.
