Lake-Effect Flurries Give Way to Late-Week Warmup in Chicago

Forecasters expect the first readings above freezing since mid-January by late week.

Overview

  • Chicago remains below freezing through midweek, with highs in the mid to upper 20s Tuesday and Wednesday.
  • Light, scattered snow could create slick spots overnight, with lake-effect bands centered in northwest Indiana at times drifting into northeast Illinois.
  • Thursday is forecast to reach the low to mid-30s with a chance for a brief dusting of snow.
  • Friday may push toward 40 degrees, and some areas could see mixed precipitation or rain.
  • The weekend turns colder with occasional snow chances, followed by a likely warmer trend early next week that favors above-normal temperatures.
