Sunny skies, seasonal temperatures to start the weekend – NBC Chicago

After a week of mostly seasonal temperatures in the Chicago area, the region is expecting more typical fall weather as the last weekend of October begins.

It’s a cool morning in the area with sunshine and temperatures around 40°C with a light breeze, although temperatures are likely to rise through the afternoon.

The sun is expected to continue throughout the day and temperatures will rise to over 50°C in the afternoon hours.

The mercury will likely begin to fall in the late afternoon, with temperatures dropping steadily through the evening and night hours.

Although skies will be mostly sunny and clear on Saturday, some cloud cover will move into the area during the evening hours, resulting in partly cloudy skies for most of the evening.

While there are many reasons to get outside on a fall day in Chicago on Saturday, those with busy schedules will have an even more picturesque day on Sunday.

Highs are expected to climb into the lower 60s on Sunday, with skies remaining mostly sunny and winds of five to ten miles per hour blowing from the south-southwest.

While seasonal temperatures are expected this weekend, the Chicago area is in for another blast of heat early next week.

Highs will reach the upper 60s on Monday under cloudy skies, but highs could reach over 80 degrees on Tuesday as gusty winds move into the region.

Skies will be cloudy and strong winds will continue into Wednesday, with early summer temperatures continuing and highs likely to reach the high 70s that day.

From there, rain and seasonal temperatures will likely move back into the area, with highs falling back into the 50s as morning showers are possible Thursday.
