Chicago Weather: Heavy Rain and Cooler Temperatures Expected

Chicago is bracing for significant weather changes over the next few days. As of October 25, 2024, heavy rain is forecasted to hit the area, particularly in the late hours of the night and into the early morning. According to weather reports, there is a 100% chance of rain, with cloudy skies and thunder possible.

The rain is expected to bring much-needed moisture to the region, which has been experiencing drought conditions. Despite the rain, the overall weather pattern is set to cool down significantly after a period of near-record warmth earlier in the week. High temperatures that reached the upper 70s on Tuesday will give way to cooler conditions, with highs expected to be much lower in the coming days.

For the immediate future, residents can expect cloudy skies with periods of rain, and winds from the south at 5 to 10 mph. The low temperature for the night is forecasted to be near 50°F, with a humidity level of 70%.

Looking ahead, the weekend is expected to see partly cloudy skies with a slight chance of rain showers. High temperatures are anticipated to be around 64°F, with winds from the northwest at 10 to 15 mph.
