Chicago weather: Sunshine and cooler-than-normal temps for your Memorial Day

Yahoo26-05-2025

CHICAGO - Today will be the ninth-straight day with below-normal temperatures in Chicagoland.
Fox 32 Meteorologist Mike Caplan has the forecast for your Memorial Day.
What to Expect
We will have a good deal of sunshine today with a few more clouds dotting the sky in the afternoon.
Highs will be in the mid-60s except near the lake, where temperatures will be several degrees cooler once again.
Tonight will be mostly cloudy with lows in the low 50s.
What's next
Tomorrow does not look like a rainy day, however, there could be a few light showers around.
Highs will once again be in the 60s except near the lake. If there is an opportunity for more robust showers, it would arrive tomorrow night into Wednesday. Even that remains somewhat in question as to how much of our area would be impacted by rainfall.
On Thursday, we begin a slight warming trend with highs that could actually tag 70 degrees. Bear in mind that is still about 5 degrees cooler than normal.
On Friday, there is a much better chance for a warm-up. Highs should reach the mid to upper 70s. There is a chance of showers at night.
Saturday will be partly sunny with highs in the low 70s.
On Sunday, the next warming cycle begins with highs well into the 70s under partly sunny skies.

Chicago weather: Mostly dry stretch ahead with near 90° highs today

The Brief Rain chances remain low across the Chicago area through early next week, with most models showing little to no accumulation. Temperatures will stay warm, with highs reaching near 90 today and settling into the 80s through the weekend. A nearby front may bring isolated showers or storms, but most areas will stay dry heading into Flag Day and Father's Day. CHICAGO - To say that computer models are unimpressed with prospects for much rainfall in the next week would be an understatement. To give you an idea, the U.S. model known as the GFS shows anywhere from zero rain to about a 10th of an inch in Chicagoland. The European model shows anywhere from zero to about a half inch of rainfall through Monday night. The main message here is to stress that it will be mostly dry moving forward right on through the holiday weekend. That being said, there will be a front nearby which brings at least some risk of a shower or storm from time to time. What we know Today will likely be the warmest day in the next week with highs flirting with 90 degrees. The wild card will once again be the quantity of wildfire smoke in the sky, which at this point does not look to be great. This would favor the warmer solution. Tonight, any threat of thunderstorms looks to be confined to our far-northern communities. Tomorrow will continue to be very warm with highs generally in the mid 80s. However, there will be slightly cooler temperatures near the lake and in our far-north communities. There is only a small chance of a pop-up shower during the afternoon. A similar temperature regime is likely on Friday. Over the weekend there is only a small chance of showers and thunderstorms for Flag Day and then Father's Day on Sunday. Highs will range from the 70s near the lake and far north to 80s city and in our southern counties. The Source The information in this report came from FOX 32 Meteorologist Mike Caplan.

When is the summer solstice 2025? What to know about the longest day of the year

With the cool temperatures and rain in the region over Memorial Day weekend, it seems like summer weather will never reach Connecticut. But it's much closer than it seems, with the summer season right around the corner, which kicks off with the summer solstice. The summer solstice is when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky for the year, and marks the beginning of summer. It is the longest day of the year, with the most daylight. "The summer solstice occurs at the moment the earth's tilt toward the sun is at a maximum," according to the National Weather Service website. "Therefore, on the day of the summer solstice, the sun appears at its highest elevation with a noontime position that changes very little for several days before and after the summer solstice." It will occur this year on June 20, 2025. It begins with the summer solstice on June 20. The summer solstice is not on the same day every year. "The solstices also do not land on the same calendar day every year because the astronomical year is 365.25 days long," according to the website. "As such, the summer solstice for the Northern Hemisphere — also known as the June solstice — currently shifts between June 20, 21 and 22." Conversely, the summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere happens on Dec. 21 or 22 each year. The National Weather Service is predicting another hot summer in the northeast this year. The NWS three-month outlook, issued April 17, shows that temperatures in New England are likely to be 50-60% above normal in May, June and July of 2025. Precipitation in the Northeast is also expected to be slightly above normal by about 35-40%. The Farmer's Almanac also predicted above average temperatures in the Northeast this summer. In New England, "broiling" heat is in the forecast. "Heat will be in full force by July, with much of the nation sweltering with above- to high-above average temperatures," the forecast says. However, it predicts 'average precipitation' for the region. Katie Landeck contributed to this report. This article originally appeared on The Providence Journal: When is the summer solstice 2025?
