Chicago Weather: As storms clear out, warmer temps on the way

Fox 32 Meteorologist Mark Strehl has the forecast for Sept. 13, 2025.

CHICAGO - Scattered showers and storms that arrived in the Chicago area on Saturday morning forced delays at both major airports.

While previous ground stops had been lifted as of 10 a.m., a ground delay was still causing nearly two-hour delays at O'Hare International Airport,

What we know:

After the rainfall, conditions were expected to dry up, and there might be some clearing skies into the evening.

Saturday's high temperature is expected to be in the mid to upper 70s in the city, likely closer to 80 degrees and above out in the far western and southern counties.

Summer-like temperatures are expected to return this week.

Monday and Tuesday could see wall-to-wall sunshine with highs in the mid-80s! That's above average for this time of year.

The next best chance for rain is on Friday with only about a 25% chance.
