Chicago is waking up to a rainy Wednesday, with temperatures around 75 degrees and showers expected through the morning. The wet start should ease by early afternoon, setting up a much calmer stretch for the rest of the week.
Morning Showers Fade By Early Afternoon
Rain showers are most likely through late Wednesday morning, with roughly one-tenth to one-quarter inch of rain possible, according to Hoodline. A few isolated thunderstorms cannot be ruled out, but no watches or warnings are posted; rainfall may also reduce visibility during the morning, according to the National Weather Service Chicago office.
The updated outlook is a sharper turn from Tuesday’s heat-focused setup, when Hoodline reported that showers were still waiting in the wings. By Wednesday afternoon, rain chances drop sharply as clouds begin to break and temperatures hold near the upper 70s.
Thursday And Friday Bring A Sunny Reset
Wednesday night turns partly cloudy with a low around 68, followed by a mostly sunny Thursday with a high near 75. Friday looks even more inviting, with sunny skies and a high of 79 to 80 degrees.
Warmth Returns This Weekend
Saturday brings another warm-up, with a high near 83 and a chance of showers in the morning followed by a small chance of thunderstorms later in the day. Sunday stays partly sunny with a high near 79, while Monday or Tuesday could bring a better chance of showers and thunderstorms.
