Chicago, IL – Residents across northern Illinois should prepare for scattered showers and possible thunderstorms Saturday, though forecasters say the damp weather will give way to sunnier, summer-like conditions by Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service Chicago, heavy rain may develop Saturday with highs ranging from 76 to 88 degrees. Areas southeast of Interstate 55 are most likely to see rainfall, and morning fog could reduce visibility for drivers. Lows will dip into the low 60s overnight.
By Sunday, conditions are expected to improve with clear skies and highs in the low-to-upper 80s. Lakeside areas should remain cooler, topping out in the upper 70s. The warm, dry trend is forecast to continue into midweek, with inland temperatures climbing near 90 degrees Monday through Wednesday. Overnight lows will hold steady in the low-to-mid 60s.
Meteorologists advise travelers and commuters to monitor conditions Saturday before the weather stabilizes for the week ahead. The summer-like pattern is unusual for mid-September and could extend the outdoor season for many across the Chicago metro area.
