Chicago Weather Forecast: Sunshine and Pleasant Conditions Ahead
Introduction to the Weekend Weather
Chicago will encounter pleasant conditions in the form of sunshine this weekend, but the much anticipated weather won’t arrive immediately.
Widespread sunshine wasn’t present early Saturday, as the Chicago area woke up with partly cloudy skies. While some light showers were possible in the morning, most of the rain evaporated as it began to drop, NBC 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Pete Sack explained.
Saturday’s Weather Conditions
The region will encounter hazy sunshine on occasion throughout the daytime hours on Saturday, Sack said, but at times clouds will be thicker, allowing for potential light showers. Overall, high temperatures will top out in the mid-50s, which will be just a few degrees below normal for this time of year.
As the evening arrives, clouds will begin to depart, making way for pretty quiet conditions overnight.
Sunday’s Weather Forecast
When Sunday rolls around, get ready for plenty of sunshine; sunny conditions will arrive in the morning and persist through the afternoon.
Temperature-wise, readings will bottom out in the mid-to-low 40s, though readings in the upper 30s are possible well away from the lake. Breezes will be coming in away from Lake Michigan and will help prop temperatures up slightly, meteorologists said.
In the daytime hours, temperatures will likely top out in the upper 50s to around 60 degrees and could potentially hit the 60-degree mark. Sack said with all the sunshine, conditions will still feel very nice.
Weekday Weather Forecast
Dry conditions will set in overnight late Sunday into early Monday, with no clouds in the picture.
The workweek will begin with some sunshine, but some clouds could pop up beginning in the morning hours. However, Chicagoans will still encounter rather pleasant conditions with values topping out in the upper 50s.
While many will be looking forward to the spookiest day of the year later in the week, before it arrives, we’ll have to deal with a chance for a shower on Tuesday and into early Wednesday.
During the daytime on Wednesday, we’ll likely encounter mostly cloudy skies with winds coming in off the lake. Then, on Thursday, a chance for a couple of sprinkles or light rain showers will drift into northwest Indiana, Sack said.
Halloween Weather Forecast
Once that’s all said and done, Halloween will arrive with dry conditions and temperatures in the mid 50s. According to Sack, those conditions will continue into the weekend.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Chicagoans can expect a pleasant weekend with plenty of sunshine, followed by a week with varying weather conditions. While there is a chance for showers on Tuesday and Wednesday, the weather will clear up by Halloween, making it a great day to get out and enjoy the festivities.
