Chicago weather: Chilly morning kicks off a cooler-than-normal week

It’s downright chilly this morning. 

As I was driving out of my home neighborhood, my car thermometer registered 41°. Get used to cooler-than-normal weather this entire week. 

Chicago weather forecast

What we know:

Today I remain unimpressed with the prospects for much, if any, rainfall. Temperatures will vary from the low 50s in northeastern Lake County to our far southern counties reaching 70 degrees. Skies will be mostly cloudy. 

Overnight, showers will move in and will continue much of the day tomorrow and even Wednesday.

Future forecast

What's next:

High temperatures tomorrow will be in the 50s with a raw east wind. Temperatures will be similar on Wednesday with a lighter brand of rainfall in the area. 

The rest of the week and the weekend look dry with partly to mostly sunny skies each day. Highs will eventually warm into the 60s by Friday continuing to warm up over the weekend into the mid and upper 60s.
