Warm and Sunny Weather Expected in Chicago Area
The Chicago area is in for a treat this Monday, with a clear and bright day ahead and highs reaching into the low 80s (°F), according to the NBC 5 Storm Team. This is 20 degrees above the average for this time of year.
Quick Warming Up
As the day progresses, temperatures are expected to quickly warm up, with highs reaching the 60s by 10 a.m., according to NBC 5 Meteorologist Kevin Jeanes. A brief cool down is expected, but a warm-up into the 70s could keep next week’s Halloween forecast warm, sunny, and dry.
Halloween Forecast
We haven’t seen Halloween temperatures in the 70s since 2008, Jeanes noted. Before that, rain chances are expected to move in on Tuesday, with a couple of showers forecast for 3 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon. Some areas may even hear rumbles of thunder, with temperatures dipping into the 70s.
Weekend Forecast
For the rest of the week, temperatures are expected to remain in the mid-to-low 60s, with more rain chances overnight on Thursday and into Friday morning. This could make for a rainy Friday morning commute, with additional rain chances expected in the afternoon.
Chicago on Track for Record Warmth
According to the national Weather Service, Chicago and Rockford are on pace for a "near record warm year," ranking third behind 1921 and 2012 in annual average temperatures before September 30. If October were to end today, it would rank as the eighth warmest October on record.
Conclusion
