Monday forecast: Cold Weather Advisory for Chicagoland, wind chills well below zero
Chicagoland is in the deep freezer to start the week, with a Cold Weather Advisory in effect until Tuesday morning.
It's a dangerously cold start to Monday, with air temperatures hovering in the single digits to below zero and wind chill values ranging from minus-20 to minus-25. That's much colder than it was at the same time Sunday morning.
Just after 5 a.m. Monday, the highest air temp reading in Chicagoland was just 5, while the low was minus-5.
While it's clear out early Monday, it will quickly get mostly cloudy for the rest of the day, with light snow showers or flurries possible in southern areas. Air temps will fall below zero overnight, then Tuesday will dawn frigid again, with dangerously cold wind chills.
Finally, by Tuesday afternoon, wind chills could get back to above zero, while air temps creep back up into the teens and then into the low to mid-20s for the latter part of the week.
Here's a timeline of projected wind chills from Monday morning through Tuesday afternoon:

Forecast: Partly cloudy, breezy, mild
Weather Maps Interactive Radar Climate & Environment MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Winds: S at 10-15 mph. Low: 67. A second consecutive warm and summery day is on tap Tuesday. The day opens with a mix of sun and clouds along with some residual haze from Canadian Wildfire smoke. The clouds will grow thicker later in the day, and especially at night. Some improvement in the upper-level smoke is likely later in the day and Tuesday evening as winds aloft from the south/southwest mix out some of the haze out of area skies temporarily. Highs will be even warmer than Monday, reaching the upper 80s, and perhaps touching 90-degrees in some locations. Rain chances are low throughout the day, but start to increase a bit by Tuesday evening, reaching 20% of the area. The Storm Prediction Center has placed the metro area in a level 1 of 5 risk for seeing a strong or severe thunderstorm late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. The primary threats of any storm that could potentially reach severe levels would be damaging winds and small hail.

Monday forecast: Hazy sunshine, temps rising to the mid-80s in Chicagoland
Weather Maps Interactive Radar Climate & Environment If you've been anxiously waiting for summertime weather in Chicagoland, your day has arrived. After a cool start early Monday morning, temperatures will rise all the way into the mid- to upper 80s by the afternoon, a good 10-plus degrees warmer than normal for June 2. We'll also have mostly sunny skies in Chicagoland, but it'll be hazy due to the Canadian wildfires that continue to burn and send smoke in our direction. There is no Air Quality Alert for Chicagoland to start Monday, but we'll keep an eye out if that changes. Winds out of the south will switch to south/southwest later Monday, with gusts up to 20 miles per hour, but it'll be even windier on Tuesday. And also warmer, as Tuesday highs will approach 90 in some parts of Chicagoland. Then it cools back down into the mid-60s for Wednesday, with rain likely. Weather Maps Climate & Environment Interactive Radar Weather Bug Cameras 7-Day Outlook Weather Center Newsletter After our long recent stretch of cooler-than-normal temps, we'll see a big spike to start this week, with hot and humid conditions more in line with mid- or late summer than the first days of June. As you can see below, temps in the mid- to upper 80s are 10-plus degrees warmer than normal for the first days of June. But we're in for a sharp dip on Wednesday, with temps possibly 10 degrees below normal. Things then look to level out close to seasonal averages as we get to the later part of this week and into the weekend. Climate and Environment news: Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Pittsburgh's temperatures will warm up this week with wildfire smoke likely
Yesterday's highs struggled to make it out of the 50s for most of Western Pa. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos This morning, June begins with an unseasonably chilly air mass across the region, with temperatures hovering in the upper 30s to mid-40s for most locations. The strongest cold air advection following yesterday's frontal passage has weakened. This, along with some more sun, will allow highs to easily reach the low to mid-60s for most today, which is still several degrees below normal. High temperatures on June 1, 2025 KDKA Weather Center As high pressure settles in tonight, skies will clear and temperatures will once again drop into the low 40s for most, with a few spots possibly in the upper 30s for Monday morning. There is an increasing potential for the Northern Lights to be viewed in our area after sunset through sunrise tomorrow due to a strong geomagnetic storm and its associated solar wind energizing particles in Earth's thermosphere. How you can potentially see the Northern Lights in the Pittsburgh on Sunday night into Monday morning. KDKA Weather Center As always, there is high uncertainty in the timing of when the northern lights will be most viewable, but those interested should keep an eye out between sunset tonight and Monday morning, and possibly again Monday night into Tuesday morning if the solar storm continues long enough. Skies should be free of clouds, and wildfire smoke should be out of the air, promoting optimal viewing. It will be cool as well with temperatures quickly dropping into the 50s and 40s after sunset. Low temperatures on Sunday night KDKA Weather Center Speaking of wildfire smoke, we will be watching a mass of Canadian wildfire smoke that has been in place across the Upper Midwest to slowly migrate eastward by Monday into Tuesday. This will leave a large part of our area with hazy skies Monday, Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday. How the wildfire smoke will impact our area KDKA Weather Center As of now, it appears that the smoke should remain aloft in the atmosphere on Monday, but sinking air Monday night into Tuesday could allow for some smoke to mix down to the surface, creating air quality issues. Outside of the smoke, temperatures will warm back to well above normal levels through the middle part of the week, although the smoke could mute how high temperatures could theoretically reach. Mid to upper 80s are likely on Wednesday and Thursday. A series of disturbances and a slow-moving frontal boundary will bring a chance of showers and storms beginning in Northwest Pa., on Thursday. Rain chances over the next week KDKA Weather Center The better chance of rain and storms looks to be on Friday as the front moves across our area. Right now, this doesn't appear to be a classic severe weather setup, but we are in peak season, so this does bear watching. 7-day forecast: June 1, 2025 KDKA Weather Center Stay up to date with the KDKA Mobile App – which you can download here!
