Chicago, Illinois – A slow-moving weather system is bringing sporadic rain chances across Illinois, including Chicago, through Monday. Rain is expected to be most frequent near and east of Interstate 55, while cooler temperatures move in toward the Lake Michigan shoreline.
According to the National Weather Service, rain chances will range between 30-80% over the weekend. Rain will be lighter for areas west of I-55, with slightly higher chances on Sunday for the Chicago metro. In addition, temperatures will be mild, with highs ranging from the low 50s to low 60s, but with a breezy wind creating a chillier feel.
Local impacts include possible delays in travel and damp conditions for outdoor activities. Drivers should be cautious as wet roads persist throughout the area, especially along the I-55 corridor. The weather system is expected to linger until Monday, with a slightly cooler and clearer pattern emerging for Tuesday and Wednesday.
By midweek, conditions will improve, with temperatures reaching the mid-60s to low 70s across the state. More rainfall is possible, but the risk will drop significantly by Wednesday afternoon. Stay prepared for fluctuations in temperatures and be ready for periodic showers until the rain clears later this week.
