Current Conditions
Next Few Hours
Extended Outlook
The extended outlook calls for some morning showers and gradual clearing during the afternoon on Wednesday. Thursday calls for partly sunny skies, with highs in the mid-50s and chance of showers.
Halloween forecast
Halloween this year is looking dry, with just a slight chance of showers.
Temps for trick-or-treaters on Friday will be in the mid-50s, so too warm for an early snow but chilly enough to make it feel like a true Halloween night!
Chicago forecast highs and departure from normal
Temperatures overall look to continue slightly below normal, but with no significant cold spells or mild spells in the near term.
Interesting note: The odds of seeing at least one more 70-degree day are at 70%. Fifty-eight of the past 83 years dating back to 1942 (when observations were kept at Midway or O’Hare) have logged at least one additional 70-degree day before the cold weather set in.
8-14 day forecast: Nov. 1-7
While the greatest probability of seeing warmer than normal temperatures is out west, the odds slightly favor warmer than normal conditions across the Great Lakes and Chicago area. Cool weather relative to normal is expected from the Mid-Atlantic all the way down to Florida.
