Chicago Weather Monday Morning: A Mild, Mostly Dry Day Near 60, Election Day Rain Chances Ease to 54 Percent
The station's live feed at dawn Monday put Chicago at 54.6 degrees and mainly clear. Tuesday still warms to about 70, but its rain chance has eased — Wednesday, at 88 percent, is now the week's wettest day by a wider margin.
Chicago starts its last early-voting day mild and mostly dry. The station's live Open-Meteo feed read early Monday put the city at 54.6 degrees, feeling like 51.7, under mainly clear skies, on the way to a Monday high of 59.5 with only an 8 percent chance of precipitation — a comfortable day to walk to an early-voting site.
Election Day still brings the week's warmth, with a high of 70.3 and a low of 59.1 on Tuesday, but the rain picture has shifted since the overnight update: Tuesday's precipitation chance eased from 69 percent to 54 percent under overcast skies. Voters heading out Tuesday morning may stay dry more often than the overnight forecast suggested, though the day is by no means a washout-free promise.
The rain has not left the week — it has moved. Wednesday's precipitation chance rose to 88 percent, the highest of the seven-day feed, with a high of 62.4 and rain showers expected. Temperatures then step down: 53.5 on Thursday, 51.7 on Friday and 53.0 on Saturday, all with low rain chances, before Sunday reaches 50.9 with a 25 percent chance.
