Wednesday morning forecast for Chicagoland on Oct. 5th

FOX 32's Mike Caplan breaks down today's weather outlook.

Today will not be as perfectly sunny but every bit as warm, if not a tad warmer, than Tuesday. Mid-70s look like a solid this afternoon.  

Tonight will be partly to mostly cloudy with a small chance of a sprinkle.  

Tomorrow starts mild and dry with highs reaching the low to mid 70s again ahead of a cold front which will spark p.m. showers and lead to a steep drop in temps late in the day from north to south.  

Tomorrow night into Friday there will likely be some lake-effect rain showers on the Illinois side.

Friday’s highs will only be in the low to mid 50s, about 20 degrees cooler than recent days. It’s a quick punch of cold though.  

Saturday may open with frost/freeze concerns but afternoon highs will be close to 60 degrees.  It’s well into the 60s for Sunday with 70+ attainable starting Monday.
