Chicago Weather: Monday Stays Dry for the Last Day of Early Voting, Then Election Day Rain at 72 Percent
The feed has cut Monday's rain chance to 11 percent — the driest read of the day — while Tuesday's showers and a cooler, wet Wednesday at 73 percent hold firm.
Chicago's Sunday is ending the way it began: grey and cool. The station's live Open-Meteo feed read 57.3 degrees in the early afternoon, feeling like 56.5 under a full overcast, with the day's high at 58.6, the low near 50 and a 23 percent chance of rain — enough cloud to sit over the city, not enough to spoil what is left of the weekend.
Monday, the final day of early voting, has improved through the day. The feed now puts Monday's rain chance at just 11 percent, down from 22 percent in this morning's files, with a high of 59.2 and a low of 54.5. For voters heading to the last day of early voting — and for the Monday-night crowds bound for the United Center, Wrigleyville bars and Seattle watch parties — the practical read is dry and cool rather than wet.
Election Day remains the turn. Tuesday's rain chance holds at 72 percent with a mild high of 68.1 and a low of 59.2, so voters in line between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. should expect showers at some point in the day. Wednesday is still the week's wettest day at 73 percent, though its high has been trimmed to about 61. After that the week cools and dries: Thursday near 56 with a 17 percent chance, Friday near 53, and Saturday near 51 under a 7 percent chance.
