Overview

• Rain will move out by lunchtime Wednesday, leaving mostly cloudy skies and highs in the 60s across Chicagoland.
• If May ended today, it would rank as the 10th-driest on record for Chicago after most days saw no measurable rainfall.
• A nine-day streak of highs below 60°F at Northerly Island highlights the unseasonably cool spell fueled by Lake Michigan’s still-chilly waters.
• Scattered afternoon showers may return Thursday through Saturday near the lake before warmer weather sets in.
• Temperatures will climb starting Sunday, with highs pushing into the 80s by early next week.
