Chicago's weather remains steadfast in its autumnal mood, with mild temperatures and the occasional glimpse of sun poking through the clouds. According to the National Weather Service, today offers a slight chance of sprinkles post-11 am, with the mercury hovering near a comfortable 53 degrees. An east wind may sweep through at 5 to 10 mph, assuring that the chill in the air is never too far away.
As the day progresses, Chicagoans can expect to see the mercury rise to a modest mid-50s. There is a small likelihood of rain in the late morning to early afternoon, but according to Fox 32, it won't be substantial enough to hinder any plans for outdoor ventures. The clouds, on cue, will be swooping in but should do little to dampen the spirits of those enjoying a day out in the city.
Come evening, the city will don a partly cloudy cloak with lows around 46 degrees, gentle southeast winds at 5 mph, and gusts reaching up to 10 mph will cradle the night. The clear skies will mostly persist into Sunday night, where temperatures are expected to dip slightly to around 45.
For Sunday's forecast, sunshine is set to reclaim its place in the skyline with highs pointing closer to 60 degrees. "There should be more sunshine on Sunday with highs closer to 60 degrees," according to the forecast shared by Fox 32. The week ahead also promises more sunny days, specifically Monday through Friday, with highs consistently near the mid-50s and reassuringly low chances of rain to abruptly alter any of those plans to step outside and breathe in the crisp fall air.
