Chicago residents can expect a shift in weather as the clear skies of early today give way to impending rainfall. As reported by the National Weather Service, increasing clouds are predicted, with temperatures peaking near 46 degrees and a calm northwest wind shifting by nightfall. Precipitation is highly probable tonight with the likelihood of rain after 1 a.m. at 90%, and an east southeast wind ranging from 5 to 10 mph.
With overnight lows hovering in the upper 30s, according to a FOX 32 Chicago report, tomorrow will bring a persistent and "raw" rain, with highs struggling to exceed the 40-degree mark. Looking to Wednesday, a mostly cloudy condition is anticipated to persist, offering little reprieve from the chilly nip, as temperatures linger in the mid to upper 40s.
The week's weather narrative continues with another storm expected by Thursday afternoon, but recent forecasts suggest a reduced likelihood of this event, with conditions leading into Friday appearing to take a turn for the better. Highs are expected to reach the mid-50s, creating a brief window of milder weather before another chance of rain rolls in that evening.
Residents looking forward to the weekend might find some comfort in the dry outlook, with partly sunny skies and more typical November temperatures. As echoed by the National Weather Service, the "normal high" for this time of year begins at 48 degrees, descending gently to 45 by Sunday, while the "normal low" starts the week at 34 degrees before dipping to 32 over the weekend.
