Chicago, IL – Chicago residents can expect a mild and mostly dry start to the week before two rounds of rain develop — one Tuesday night and another by Friday, according to the US National Weather Service Chicago.
Temperatures will remain warmer than normal through the end of the week, with highs ranging from the upper 60s to near 80°F, especially closer to the lakeshore. Tuesday will bring a 20–40% chance of showers, mainly north of I-80, followed by a brief cooldown Wednesday with highs in the low 60s.
The area will warm again Thursday and Friday, with temperatures climbing back into the mid to upper 70s. Forecasters say rain chances increase late Friday, potentially bringing more widespread showers ahead of the weekend.
Overnight lows will stay mild, ranging from the upper 40s to near 60°F, keeping conditions comfortable for mid-October.
Residents planning weekend travel or outdoor events are advised to monitor updated forecasts as the next system approaches.
