Chicago, IL – Chicago residents can expect hot, dry conditions through Thursday, with highs reaching 90 degrees in some areas. Cooler temperatures are predicted near Lake Michigan. However, a pattern change will bring increased humidity and rain chances toward the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, rain could return Saturday night, with a 30-40% chance of storms on Sunday. Humidity will also rise as temperatures range between 80-88°F over the weekend.
This morning, dense fog is affecting low-lying areas, particularly near the Fox River Valley. Visibility is less than a quarter-mile in some spots, causing hazardous driving conditions. The fog is expected to lift by 8 a.m.
Travelers are advised to slow down, increase their following distance, and use low beams while driving in foggy conditions. Rain and storms may also disrupt outdoor plans later this week as cooler air moves in.
Chicago’s heat will persist for several more days, with a brief reprieve by Sunday. Keep an eye on local forecasts as the weather shifts.
