Chicagoans are set to enjoy a streak of spring temperatures as a new week dawns, with the National Weather Service forecasting a "high near 58" with "west southwest wind 5 to 15 mph, and gusts as high as 25 mph" for today. As residents prepare to adjust their clocks for daylight saving time, they're also advised to brace for breezier conditions going into the night. "Mostly clear, with a low around 39." The wind chill shouldn't be underestimated and gusts may reach up to "20 mph," according to a National Weather Service report.
Even as the blustery weather accompanies the seasonal time change, with clocks set to "Spring Forward" at 2 a.m.. Sunday, there is little to dampen the spirits for the week ahead. Sunday is slated to present a "beautiful sunshine" and temperatures that casually ascend into the "middle and upper 50s," reported CBS News Chicago. A shift follows on Monday as thermometers are set to flirt with the mid-60s, offering a tantalizing preview of warmer days.
Looking further into the week, it remains a mostly bright affair until Tuesday when a "dry front" will sweep through, per CBS News Chicago. The said front is expected to merely cast a shadow of increased "cloud coverage" and instigate a slight downturn in the "temperatures during the afternoon." From Wednesday onward, the city will likely bask in partially sunny skies, with highs stable near the "early 50s to mid 50s" range until the week's end pitches a different tune.
Rain is forecast to return Friday night, carrying through "throughout the day Saturday," according to CBS News. Despite the intermittent showers, temperatures pledge to remain steadfastly "warm and above normal, mostly in the 60s," ensuring that even the rain can't fully dampen the approach of spring.
