Chicago residents might need to hold onto their umbrellas for a bit longer as the city's expected to see a variety of weather conditions throughout the upcoming week. According to the National Weather Service, showers are on the agenda with a 20 percent chance before this morning, followed by a partly sunny afternoon featuring highs near 51 degrees and gusty northeast winds.
Most of the area will remain dry today although conditions will be on the cool side of normal this weekend. Rain will return tomorrow with the highest coverage generally near and east of I-55. #ILwx #INwx pic.twitter.com/qqeEyxLqiG

As we transition into the night, the skies are predicted to clear up a bit, but don’t count on it entirely as the lows will hover around 42 degrees, paired with brisk north winds. The remainder of the weekend appears to maintain this unsettled pattern. A report from FOX 32 Chicago suggests that while Saturday may stay drier, especially south of the city, widespread scattered showers are likely to make a comeback on Sunday and might stick around come Monday.
Looking ahead, Monday should offer a slight reprieve with temperatures expected to climb toward the 60-degree mark, under mostly cloudy conditions. The forecast for Tuesday through Thursday indicates a shift toward a more springlike pattern, with temperatures reaching the upper 60s and skies clearing up, allowing for partly to mostly sunny days, as per FOX 32 Chicago.
Finally, as the week wraps up, chicagoans can expect sunny conditions and a high near 62 degrees on Friday, offering a dry and pleasant end to the week, as detailed by the National Weather Service.
