Chicago Weather Sunday Morning Update: Overcast and Cooler, With the High Trimmed to Near 58
The station feed now puts Sunday's high at 58.1 under a full overcast — a few degrees cooler than the overnight call — with rain chances still low today and Monday before Election Day's showers.
Sunday is starting gray and a touch cooler than the overnight forecast suggested. The station's weather feed read 50.6 degrees on Sunday morning, feeling like 48.8 under a full overcast, and the expected high has been trimmed to 58.1, down from the low 60s the feed carried overnight. The precipitation chance for today stands at 23 percent, so the overcast is more likely to simply sit over the city than to rain on it.
Monday, the final day of early voting, looks much the same: a high of 60.7, a low of 52.7 and a 22 percent rain chance. The change arrives with Election Day on Tuesday, when the high climbs to 67.8 but the rain chance jumps to 64 percent, and Wednesday remains the wettest day of the week at 70 percent with a high of 64.5.
Behind the midweek rain, the week cools and dries out: Thursday reaches 59.1 with a 26 percent rain chance, Friday tops out at 54.9, and Saturday rebounds to 59.2 with the rain chance down to 8 percent. For anyone heading to the lakefront or to Grant Park today, the practical read is a jacket day — overcast, upper 50s, and dry enough to be outside.
