Rain showers to soak Chicagoland this afternoon carrying into Saturday

Any showers this morning build into a steady, soaking rainfall by the evening commute. Rain continues tonight then becomes more showery in character tomorrow.

Another lovely day in store for Chicago ahead of chilly weekend

We had our first official 70-degree day on Wednesday and we might not be that far from it again early this afternoon before chillier air slides in from the north and along the lake. 

Temps in the 40s today across Chicago ahead of Wednesday warmup

Whether it feels like late February or early April depends on how close to the lake you are today. Near the chilly water, highs today may barely climb into the 40s, while about an hour’s drive to the west, it could be 62 degrees.
