As Chicagoans step into the weekend, the weather shows dual shades of Spring. The city bathes in sun-touched highs with a gentle reminder that Winter's chill hasn't quite loosened its grip—especially for those along the shores of Lake Michigan. According to WGN-TV, Saturday sees a high-pressure system bless the region with abundant sunshine and a mild breeze, promising lower 60s for most parts, save for the lakeside neighborhoods where temperatures are expected to peak near 50 and cool down in the afternoon.
This balmy preview, however, strings along a change-up for the night as the forecast hints at a chance for a few light showers after midnight. The rainfall, it seems, might be scant yet enough to remind us of April's penchant for unpredictability. The National Weather Service is more specific; post-midnight revelers on Saturday should prepare for a 20 percent chance of showers.
Sunday stirs it up with a stronger southern wind and a healthy mix of sunny spells amidst cloud cover. Highs are expected to vault well into the 60s—except, of course, for those by the lake who might once again feel the cooler, tempered tones of an otherwise warming trend.This rhythmic rise and retreat of temperatures unfolds with Monday flirting with breeziness and a high near 61, but as the sun sets, the city will find itself cuddling back into a chillier embrace with lows around 41.
Meanwhile, Tuesday heralds partly sunny skies crowned with a breezy high near 52. Yet a clear night lowers the curtains, dipping temperatures to around 37, signaling the ever-tuneful Chicago dance of spring warmth and residual winter whispers..
