Chicago Weather: A Mild Sunday Near 61, Then Election Day Showers With a High Near 70
The station forecast keeps Sunday mild at 60.6 degrees with only a 14 percent rain chance, then raises Election Day's shower chance to 63 percent with the week's warmest high, near 69.5, on Tuesday.
Sunday is the pick of the weekend in Chicago. The station's Open-Meteo feed put the city at 51.6 degrees and overcast late Saturday night, on the way to a Sunday high of 60.6 and a low of 50.9, with only a 14 percent chance of precipitation - a mild, mostly dry day for the Hot Chocolate Run, the noon game crowd and the last Sunday of early voting.
Monday stays quiet at 59.7 degrees with a 16 percent rain chance. The change arrives on Election Day. Tuesday now carries showers, a high near 69.5 degrees - the warmest reading in the seven-day outlook - and a 63 percent chance of precipitation, up from the 56 percent chance the feed showed this morning.
Showers linger into Wednesday with a high of 63.8 and another 63 percent rain chance, before cooler air settles in: Thursday reaches only 53.7 degrees and Friday 52.4. Voters heading to the polls Tuesday should plan for rain gear alongside the warmest day of the week.
