Chicago, IL – Areas of fog are expected to develop late tonight into early Monday across parts of northern Illinois, especially south of Interstate 80, potentially impacting early commuters.
According to the US National Weather Service Chicago, visibility may be reduced overnight into the Monday morning drive. Drivers along and south of the I-80 corridor, including communities in Will, Grundy, and Kankakee counties, are urged to slow down and allow extra travel time.
The fog risk comes as unseasonably mild temperatures continue across the region. Highs Monday are expected to reach between 59 and 63 degrees inland, with slightly cooler readings near Lake Michigan in the mid-40s to around 60 degrees. Overnight lows will dip into the mid-30s to low 40s.
Breezy conditions are expected to develop Monday and Tuesday, with winds increasing ahead of the next weather system. By Tuesday night, rain chances return to the forecast, with scattered showers possible across the Chicago metro area and surrounding suburbs. Additional chances for precipitation continue into midweek, with highs remaining well above average in the 50s and 60s.
No severe weather is expected at this time, but shifting visibility and wet roads could create minor travel slowdowns.
