The Windy City wakes up to a blanket of patchy fog this morning, particularly noticeable in Chicago's northern counties. Despite the potential for low visibility, there are no advisories in effect at the time of reporting, so it appears the fog isn't poised to be a significant disruptor according to FOX32 Chicago.
As the day progresses, Chicagoans can expect a shift from the morning's grey to a mix of mostly to partly cloudy skies, and while it's cool by the lake, some areas to the west and south might see temperatures flirt with the 70s, the rest of the city should see a high hovering near 67 degrees, as National Weather Service reports suggest, tonight's forecast remains mostly dry until early morning hours when showers are expected to pass through with a cold front in tow.
The rain slated for early Wednesday might put a damper on the morning rush, but thankfully, any rainfall is expected to be on the lighter side, keeping the high at a relatively cooler 62 degrees; looking ahead, Chicago is slated for a mild warming trend beginning Thursday with a chance for showers in the afternoon or evening hours, and temperatures should climb toward the upper 60s, nearing the 70 degree mark, a statement that aligns with both FOX32 Chicago and the National Weather Service's insights.
Friday's forecast promises a warmer turn with mid 70s on the thermometer, but the approach of the weekend could see Chicago drenched in a somewhat active pattern of showers commencing from late Friday night, well into Saturday and there might be a few more showers skittering into Sunday morning; contrasting weather models from U.S. and European sources depict differing scenarios for the weekend, with the former suggesting a clearing by Saturday afternoon and the latter hinting at possible morning showers, leaving Chicagoans in a mild lurch as to whether the Bears game will see dry conditions, these models as reported by FOX32 Chicago.
