Wet Week Looms Ahead As Rain, Possible Wintry Mix Awaits : IL Weather

CHICAGO — What started as a dry week on Sunday is expected to turn soggy soon as more wet weather — and possible snow — awaits for the coming week, according to the National Weather Service.

Rain will move back into the area overnight into Monday morning, forecasters predict before an unsettled "parade of weather" is the horizon, forecasters predict. Temperatures are likely to remain fairly mild and could reach into the 50s each day to start the week, but after a mostly dry Monday, rain is predicted on a daily basis starting Monday night.

The National Weather Service calls for breezy conditions on Tuesday when there is a 40 percent chance of rain and temperatures in the upper 40s to low 50s. Temperatures will move into the mid-to-upper 50s on Wednesday when there is a 30 percent chance of rain with breezy conditions, forecasters say.

The chance of rain increases to 70 percent on Thursday when temperatures will struggle to get into the 50s before a cool down arrives Thursday night along with more rain. By Friday, snow could mix into the rain as it did on Saturday when wintery conditions returned.

Temperatures will remain in the high 20s to lower 30s overnight on Friday before things finally start to dry out to start the weekend before conditions closer to spring finally arrives early next week.
