The extended outlook provides a detailed forecast of the weather conditions for the next few days. This section will cover the expected temperature, humidity, and precipitation patterns, as well as any other significant weather events.

Chicago Humidity Forecast

Dry air cools off efficiently at night but also heats up rapidly during the day. This will also play a huge role in the unusually warm weather that arrives later this week.

Forecast Mean Maximum Temperature Anomaly: Oct. 2-6

Stunning daytime temperature anomalies this weekend into early next week, with highs averaging some 15-20 degrees above normal across a large portion of the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes.

6-10-Day Temperature: Oct. 5-9

Above normal warmth is expected to continue for the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. through at least the opening nine days of October.

Forecast Total Rainfall through Monday, Oct. 6

No rainfall is in the forecast for Tuesday, which means Chicago will finish with the seventh-driest September on record.

We’ve seen only four days of measurable rain and one day of a trace of rain this month, for a total of 0.49 inches. That’s 2.7 inches below the normal total of 3.19 inches at O’Hare for September.

No improvement for drought conditions is coming, as another full week with no rain is expected across the Chicago area and a large portion of the Midwest and Ohio Valley.

The next chance for rain in our area doesn’t arrive likely until next week Monday into Tuesday.

Tuesday Night to Thursday

TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy and continued mild for the season. Low: 59.

WEDNESDAY: More cloudiness than recent days but still with some mixed sunshine. Cooler, but still several degrees above normal for the opening of October. Winds: East at 5-10 mph, gusts to 15. High: 76/low 70s near Lake Michigan.

THURSDAY: A mix of sun and clouds, continued warm for October with above normal temperatures for a 23rd consecutive day. High: 82/low to mid-70s near Lake Michigan.
