Cold Air Moves into Chicagoland, Bringing Wintry Chills
Cold air has moved into Chicagoland, with early-morning temperatures Tuesday more than 20 degrees below the same time Monday. And it’s only going to get colder this Thanksgiving week. The good news, however, is that holiday travel conditions look pretty ideal throughout the area.
Early-Morning Temps Plummet
Early-morning temps Tuesday generally ranged into the mid- to upper 20s around Chicagoland, much colder than at the same time Monday. With the wind chill, temps felt as low as 11 in DeKalb, and a westerly wind gusting up to 25 miles per hour Tuesday afternoon will keep things plenty chilly.
Highs in the 30s
Highs on Tuesday are only projected to reach the upper 30s, about five degrees colder than normal. Temperatures will rebound a little on Wednesday before dropping back into the mid-30s for Thanksgiving Day, then it gets real cold for the weekend. By Friday, high temps will be in the mid- to upper 20s, and they’ll be all the way down in the teens by Saturday morning.
Quiet Holiday Weather
However, with the cold air will come generally dry, quiet conditions around Chicagoland. There’s a slight chance of rain/snow showers late Tuesday night into Wednesday, mainly in southern areas. But that chance is slight for now, and generally quiet holiday weather — albeit cold — should make for good traveling conditions.
Forecast
Today: Mostly sunny, winds W at 10-15 mph, gusts to 25. High: 38.
Tonight: Mainly cloudy, 20% snow shower, winds SSE at 0-10 mph. Low: 32.
Tomorrow: Mostly cloudy, 30% rain/snow chance, winds ENE at 0-5 mph. High: 43.
Conclusion
As the holiday season approaches, it’s essential to be prepared for the changing weather conditions. Make sure to dress warmly, and consider packing additional layers for your Thanksgiving gatherings. Stay informed about the latest weather updates and forecasts to ensure a safe and enjoyable holiday season.
