Sunny Labor Day for Chicago Before Strong Wednesday Front Triggers Sharp Cooldown

Uncertain timing keeps storm chances in question, with Wednesday highs dependent on when the front arrives.

Overview

  • Sunday brings sunshine with inland highs in the upper 70s, while a lake breeze holds shoreline readings to the low to mid-70s.
  • Labor Day stays dry and comfortable with light winds and plenty of sun, creating favorable travel conditions.
  • Forecasters expect a strong cold front Wednesday with a chance of showers and possible thunderstorms.
  • If the front arrives later, highs could reach the low 80s and storms may be stronger; an earlier passage would cap highs in the 70s.
  • Behind the front, highs drop into the 50s and 60s late week with potential record low maximums and a wider Midwest/Great Lakes cool spell.
