Overview
- Heavy rain at the start of October eased quickly after Oct. 1, with Chicago O'Hare recording 1.41 inches that day and some neighborhoods reporting roughly 4–6 inches over a two-day span.
- The storm moved out and forecasts now call for clear skies and a dry pattern for the near term with no precipitation expected this weekend.
- Morning lows will be cool, dropping into the 40s across many neighborhoods, while daytime highs will be seasonable in the mid-to-upper 60s on Saturday and near 70°F on Sunday.
- Sunday’s Bears game is forecast to feature sunshine, lower-70s temperatures and a northwest breeze around 10 mph that will make early tailgating feel brisk.
- A wind shift to the south by midweek is expected to bring warmer air and raise highs into the mid-70s, extending the dry, mostly sunny conditions for about the next ten days.
