Sunshine, milder days ahead for Chicago

Mike Caplan has your Chicago weather update!

The northern lights did indeed stage a minor encore last night and while nowhere near as spectacular as Tuesday night, many folks did capture photos in Chicagoland.

What's next:

Today we will start with sunshine and temperatures in the 30s. We’ll have enough sun to get our highs into the mid 50s just like yesterday, but there will be a little increase in cloud coverage during the afternoon.

Tonight, skies will clear and it will be seasonably chilly with lows not far from 40.

Weekend forecast:

Tomorrow will be warmer with plenty of sunshine as highs soar into the low 60s. Tomorrow night will be pleasant with lows in the low 50s.

Saturday looks to be a little bit cloudier, but also warmer with highs in the mid to upper 60s. A cold front will knock temperatures back on Sunday, but that front will be dry here. Highs on Sunday will be around 50°.

Next week:

Monday through Wednesday we will have a couple of chances for rain, mainly Monday night and again Tuesday night. High temperatures during the period will be in the upper 40s.
