Chicago weather: Weekend warmup after frigid week

After a chilly week, Chicagoland residents can look forward to a mild and quiet weekend.

Though light snow or flurries may be seen tonight and early Saturday, they aren’t expected to leave behind much, if any, accumulation.

What we know:

Tonight’s lows will dip into the upper teens before climbing to around 20 degrees by Saturday morning. Flurries or light snow may linger east of I-57 Saturday morning, but the day will otherwise bring mostly cloudy skies and highs in the mid-30s.

Sunday will continue the quiet weather pattern with partly cloudy skies and cooler highs in the upper 20s. The trend of rising temperatures will peak Monday as gusty west-southwest winds push the mercury to near 40 degrees under mostly sunny skies.

What's next:

Tuesday will bring increasing cloud cover and slightly cooler conditions, with highs in the upper 30s.
