Friday’s expected high of 72 degrees is still cooler for this time of year, but temperatures will climb into the 80s over the next few days in Chicago, according to the National Weather Service. The implication is next week’s active pattern is likely to spill over into the following week. 1 day ago &0183 &32 CHICAGO After a cool and gray week, the sun will be back just in time for the Juneteenth weekend. Colder air is likely to lock in that system’s wake maintaining the same sort of active jet stream across the region. The potential appears to be there for a wintry mix as it looks now-but critical details on the system’s structure remain to be worked out in the 4-5 days before it arrives. Just what form the precip takes when it arrive Wednesday will be interesting to monitor. The huge north/south temp spread sets up a powerful jet stream which sweeps from west to east across the country and gives rise to the development of a huge late winter storm season in the Wed/Thu time frame.Ĭhicago sits straddles the boundary between warm and cold air and is likely to get in on the storm’s expansive precipitation shield and its likely strong wind field from the ENE which will start to come into play here Tuesday night. At the same time, WARM TEMPS are to occur across the South. It’s one in which frigid arctic air takes up residence the length of the Lower 48 along and south of the Canadian border. I’ve mentioned the pattern taking shape by the middle and end of next continuing into the week which follows. LONGER RANGE: Temps cool modestly Monday and Tuesday next week though both day’s average temps are to still come in more than 5-deg above normal. The Saturday/Sunday high temps are to come in 7 to 15-deg above normal-with highs more typical of mid and late March than mid February. Sunday looks even milder with a high topping 50-deg a good bet. Saturday will see a 15 to 20-deg increase over today as gusty SW winds import milder Pacific air amid a good deal of sunshine. The good news heading into the coming weekend is TEMPS ARE TO BOUNCE BACK to the month’s dominant ABOVE NORMAL WAYS. ![]() Mowry said there is also some lake effect that could impact the city Saturday night into Sunday morning, which could push snow totals for the city a little higher overnight.Chicagoans shivered through the first BELOW NORMAL DAY in 2 weeks and the 2 nd COLDEST DAY OF FEBRUARY with this day’s high of 26 (normal high for Feb 17 is 36-10-deg warmer).Ĭold like this hits hard in a month which has posted a 5-deg surplus and in which 13 of the past 17 days have come in ABOVE NORMAL and a year to date which, despite a few sharp cold blasts have seen nearly 80% of days come in MILDER THAN NORMAL. ![]() Along the Wisconsin state line, there's a chance some areas could see 3 to 6 inches, Mowry said. Snow totals will range from 1 to 2 inches south of the city to 2 to 4 inches north. Then, Mowry said, it will mainly concentrate across the northern suburbs. Most parts of the area will see snow develop in the mid- to late-morning. While isolated snow showers and quick bursts of snow will persist through Friday afternoon and evening, complicated by gusting winds blowing snow around, a more sustained snowstorm is moving into the area Saturday morning, ABC7 Meteorologist Larry Mowry said.ĬLICK HERE for the latest ABC7 AccuWeather Forecast The Winter Weather Advisory will be in effect for Booke, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Lake, Kane, McHenry, Ogle and Winnebago counties from 9 a.m. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Chicago and surrounding counties from Saturday morning until Sunday afternoon.ĬHICAGO (WLS) - The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Chicago and surrounding counties from Saturday morning until Sunday afternoon. ![]()
