Fall Chill Settles Over Chicago and Northeast Ohio After Cold Front

Lake-effect showers and hazardous Lake Erie conditions give way to a quick early‑week warmup.

Overview

  • Temperatures hold in the mid to upper 60s through Sunday with widespread 40s to low 50s during the overnight period.
  • Bands of lake-effect rain focus on the snowbelt east of Cleveland late Saturday night into Sunday, with a few locally heavier bursts possible.
  • A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect on Lake Erie through Sunday evening with a high rip-current risk and conditions favorable for waterspouts; swimmers are urged to stay out of the water.
  • Chicago reported a brief return of wildfire smoke with noticeable haze and an orange-hued moon, which forecasters expect to diminish.
  • A warming trend begins Monday, sending highs back into the 70s and reaching the upper 70s to low/mid 80s by midweek, including upper 70s at the Bears’ home opener.
