Chicago weather: Wednesday morning forecast

FOX 32's Mike Caplan breaks down today's weather outlook.

Fine-tuning the weekend forecast now seems to favor a largely rain-free stretch from Friday noon through Saturday night when storms re-enter the program. Unfortunately the wettest period would be Mother’s Day with quite a few showers.

Temps remain warmer than normal through the period.
