Chicago’s Mild, Rainy Weekend to Give Way to Winter Cold Monday

Only a brief wintry mix is possible locally with little accumulation expected.

Overview

  • Clouds hold Saturday with highs in the mid-40s, then Sunday turns milder into the mid-50s with rain much of the day.
  • Rain develops late Saturday night and tapers late Sunday night as colder air pushes in toward early Monday.
  • Temperatures drop sharply Monday with highs near 25 degrees and drier conditions under high pressure.
  • Below-average cold lingers through midweek, with highs in the upper 20s and lows falling into the teens by New Year’s Day as sunshine returns.
  • A separate Northeast storm is producing 5–9 inches of snow in parts of New England, with up to a foot in higher elevations and accumulating snow possible in New York City that could disrupt travel.
