If you have a four-day weekend coming up for the Memorial Day holiday, congratulations. You will have two days of nice weather to go with a pair of duds. For those of us with the traditional three-day off period, two-thirds of it is likely to make it bittersweet.
The weekend forecast on Chicago’s North Shore calls for sun and warmth on Friday and Saturday and clouds and rain for Sunday and Monday, just in time for when many plan their summer kickoff barbecue parties.
According to the AccuWeather forecast for Northfield (a centralized location on the Shore), Friday’s high is 64, but will feel like 72 with a “brilliant sunshine.” It could get partly cloudy and cool at night with a low of 45.
