Chicago weather forecast
What to expect:
Skies will be mostly sunny. Tonight will be partly cloudy and not as cold. Low temperatures will be in the mid to upper 20s.
Tomorrow we will get into the mid 30s with partly sunny skies as we begin a thaw for a couple of days. Cloud cover will increase tomorrow night ahead of a storm system which will bring rain by Thursday morning. Highs will reach the mid to upper 40s on Thursday, followed by a sharp drop in temperatures late in the day.
Precipitation will be over by Thursday night as colder air drills in with lows in the teens. A one-day punch of colder air will be in place on Friday with highs in the upper 20s.
The weekend looks pleasant with highs in the low 40s on Saturday and in the upper 30s on Sunday. Christmas week still looks to be warmer than normal with a chance that Christmas Day itself is in the 50s.
