Cold morning to give way to warmer temps across Chicago

CHICAGO - It has a fancy name — Non-Diurnal. 

Meaning it doesn’t happen during the day. In this case, it refers to when the warmest temperatures will occur, starting late tonight into the wee hours of Wednesday morning. 

Before all that oddly-timed thermal drama, today will feature some sunshine mixed with cloud cover. 

After a cold morning, afternoon temps will be climbing through the mid to upper 40s toward nighttime highs in the mid to upper 50s. Tomorrow, a cold front plows through sparking rain and gusty winds.
