AI GeneratedAfter a chilly start to the morning, a significant warming trend is arriving. Today will be sunny with a high in the low 60s, followed by a week of clear skies and temperatures climbing into the 70s, which is well above the seasonal average.
But Mike, when I walked out the door this morning,
I wanted to run back inside.
It was cold.
A little chilly out there, definitely.
But the worst of the cool is behind us.
We've got a big warm-up on the way this week.
Seventies are coming back.
Of course, it was a week ago, tomorrow, Monday, we had 88 degrees.
It won't be that warm this week,
but we still have a nice, warmer trend on the way.
Now, today is going to be cool, especially this morning.
Nine o'clock, sunny but chilly, right around 46 degrees.
We'll get it up into the mid to upper 50s there by lunchtime.
And then later in the afternoon, I think we're good for low 60s.
Sky beginning to light up now.
We've got beautiful clear conditions out there.
It's 43 at O'Hare.
South-southwest winds at 6.
Southwest wind, yes, that is a warmer direction.
Really high barometer reading, too, 30.45.
Now, there are a lot of 30-somethings on the map.
A couple of the colder spots include Rensselaer, that far south.
And then the usual cold spot, Aurora, Sugar Grove, down to 34 degrees.
41, though, in Chicago's lakefront,
39 at Waukegan, and also in Michigan City.
Not a cloud in sight.
We are going to stay perfectly sunny all day today,
and really the entire week.
I got nothing.
62 degrees for the high today,
just a little bit less cool than it was yesterday.
That's roughly the normal high this time of year.
Southwest winds at a good clip, so it is going to be breezy out there,
but you will see nothing but sunshine today.
Tonight, clear skies and maybe not quite as cool
as what we've seen the past couple of mornings.
45 degrees for the official low at O'Hare.
We'll have a south wind at 5 to 15.
And then feast your eyes on this.
Every single day, plenty of sunshine.
68 tomorrow and then 70 plus for the rest of the week.
And I'm being conservative with some of these 72s.
That'll still be about 10 degrees above average.
There may be a 74 or 75 mixed in there at some point.
And for the second Bears game this week,
they'll be at home Thursday night against the Patriots.
Weather should be just fine with numbers in the 60s.
Brittany.
