Chicago weather: Temps tick up today

CHICAGO - Yesterday was the 24th day in a row with at-or-above-average temperatures in Chicago. Today will be Day 25. Then 26. Then 27 and so on.

Skies will be mostly sunny with highs in the upper 70s. It will be a bit less warm near the lake.

Tonight, a cold front moves in. Clouds will increase and it’s looking a bit more likely that a few light showers may accompany that front late at night into tomorrow morning. 

Tomorrow will become mostly sunny with highs in the lower 70s. Saturday will be mostly sunny and warmer with highs not far from 80.

At night, the next cold front arrives and there will once again be a small chance of a shower. This appears more likely in southern Wisconsin but far-northern Illinois could be clipped. The rest of Sunday looks mostly sunny with temps in the mid 70s. Great for the ball game. 

Early next week will be mostly sunny and pleasant with highs around 70-warming again by mid-week.
