Chicago Weather: No January Thaw in Sight
As we move into the second half of January, it’s clear that the cold weather is here to stay. FOX 32’s Mike Caplan breaks down today’s weather outlook and what to expect for the rest of the week.
Cold Weather Continues
The snow and freezing drizzle may be gone, but the cold is not. Today, any early sunshine will fade behind a cloud deck moving in from the west. Highs will only be in the mid 20s.
Forecast for the Rest of the Week
Tomorrow will be similar to today, with mostly cloudy skies and high temperatures in the 20s. On Thursday, there should be a little more sunshine, with high temperatures perhaps making it into the upper 20s.
Friday’s Snow Possibility
Friday presents an opportunity for snow, but it won’t be a big storm. The snow would favor the southern portion of the Chicago area.
Weekend Outlook
Over the weekend, Saturday will be mostly cloudy with a high not far from 30. I expect similar temperatures on Sunday, but there is another chance for light snow. Still, no sign of a January thaw.
Conclusion
As we head into the second half of January, it’s clear that the cold weather is here to stay. While there may be some fluctuations in temperature and precipitation, it’s unlikely that we’ll see a significant warm-up or thaw anytime soon.
