Chicago's skies today continue to wear their overcast veil, and while the city may catch glimpses of the sun tomorrow, it's a chilled farewell to hopes of a 70-degree bloom come Monday, according to the forecast. It's a mundane mix of mostly clouded vistas and the occasional drizzle today, with the mercury hesitant to climb beyond the 40s. The National Weather Service reports, "Chance of precipitation is 20%" as well as breezy conditions with northeast winds reaching up to 15 mph gusts; tonight, Chicagoans can expect to tuck in as the temperature slightly dips to around 36 under similar wind conditions, according to their website.
The weekend however promises a slight weather turn around the sun showing itself more willingly and thermometers flirting with milder numbers, "Tomorrow should be a few degrees milder, we might even tag 50°" Fox32 Chicago speculates as it casts its eye towards a Saturday high near a more agreeable 51 degrees under prevailing sunny conditions, come Sunday the city is projected to experience a partly sunny day warming up into the mid-60s.
But for those yearning for the lush warmth of a 70° day, brace for a minor heartbreak; as the quick-footed approach of a cold front scuttles such hopes, "Dreams and hopes of a 70° day on Monday are dashed," cautions Fox32 Chicago, the sky may open in the early hours, gifting a low-60s warmth around noon but anticipate temperature drops post front's passage. The weather pivot suggests that the warmest segment of the day may just be lunchtime, with a precipitous descent thereafter.
As we look further into next week, Chicago’s weather rhythm hits a cooler note again, and while the 60s have their brief cameo the sequence retreats, temperatures are anticipated to cool post-Monday's tease,.
