Cooler temperatures return to Chiacgoland on Saturday after a rollercoaster weather pattern closed out the week.
While not quite as windy as Friday, it will still be breezy with some 30 mph gusts at times delivering markedly cooler conditions.
TODAY: Clouds & sun. Winds ease and much cooler. Winds: W 10-20, G35 mph. High 67.
TONIGHT: Clearing skies & seasonal temps. Winds: WNW 5-10 mph. Low 49.

There’s no repeat of 80 degree warmth anytime in the next week at least.
