Chicagoans can look forward to what the weather forecasters describe as an "uneventful" weather outlook for the coming week. According to National Weather Service, the city will bask in mainly sunny skies with temperatures hovering near the mid to upper 50s during the day and lows in the vicinity of 40 degrees at night.
Despite the steady forecast, circadian rhythms are set for the annual jolt, as Chicago will mark the end of Daylight Saving Time. Clocks go back on Sunday at 2 a.m., as reported by FOX 32 Chicago. This reset to Standard Time is maybe the only noteworthy event in otherwise temperate times.
The week's slightest departure from the general calm might come on Saturday, with a 20 percent chance of showers after 1 p.m., the National Weather Service suggests. That day is expected to be marginally cooler compared to the rest of the week. However, the likelihood of rain is slim, and any precipitation would likely be light.
In international weather news, the region takes note, albeit from a distance, of Hurricane Melissa's considerable impact. The category 3 hurricane touched down in Chivirico, Santiago de Cuba, with winds at a tremendous 120 mph. From there, the system is tracking towards the southern Bahamas. This update on Hurricane Melissa comes from the same report by FOX 32 Chicago, asserting the sheer force of nature as it draws contrast to the Windy City's placid forecast.
For Chicago's immediate outlook, residents will continue to enjoy mostly clear evening skies, with Friday night veering towards mostly cloudy. By Sunday, the sun re-emerges, maintaining a mostly sunny disposition with highs again approaching the mid-50s. The start of the new week persists with this tranquil pattern, promising clear skies into Tuesday.
