Chicago Weather Overnight Update: An Overcast Sunday Near 61, Then Election Day Rain With the High Trimmed to Near 68
Chicago starts Sunday overcast and mild, with a high near 61 and only an 11 percent rain chance. The live forecast keeps Election Day wet — a 63 percent rain chance on Tuesday — but trims Tuesday's high to near 68.
Chicago begins Sunday under overcast skies. The station's live Open-Meteo feed early Sunday showed 52.3 degrees, feeling like 48.7, with a Sunday high of 60.6 degrees, a low of 50.7 and an 11 percent chance of precipitation — a dry, mild day for the Hot Chocolate Run in Grant Park and for the final full day of early voting.
Monday stays mild ahead of Election Day. The feed puts Monday's high at 60.5 degrees and the low at 53.2, with a 16 percent rain chance, before the pattern turns wetter.
Election Day itself still looks rainy, but slightly cooler than the last update. The feed now puts Tuesday's high at 68.4 degrees — trimmed from the near-70 reading in Saturday night's file — with the low at 59.9 and the rain chance holding at 63 percent. Wednesday stays warm and wet on the current feed, with a high of 67.8 and a 63 percent rain chance.
The cooldown follows later in the week: Thursday's high is 59.8 degrees with a 40 percent rain chance, Friday's is 56.9, and Saturday's is 52.2, on the current feed. Voters heading out Tuesday should plan for rain; Sunday and Monday are the dry windows of the week.
