Chicago weather: Sunshine and cooler-than-normal temps for your Memorial Day
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: Chance of late afternoon showers, storms as air quality improves
CHICAGO - It's shaping up to be a decent weather Sunday as the air quality continues to improve, but there is a chance of showers later on. Fox 32 Meteorologist Mark Strehl has the forecast. What To Expect There was still a bit of haze in the air, which the Chicago area will likely still have to deal with over the next few days, if not longer, with those Canadian forest fires continuing. Still, there were no air quality alerts in the Chicagoland area on Sunday. Temperatures were reaching the upper 70s with partly cloudy conditions until around midday today. But by around 5 p.m., there will be a chance of showers and thunderstorms with the possibility of brief gusty winds and maybe even some hail. What's next Rain chances remain into Monday, but then temps will stay warm throughout the week. By Wednesday into Thursday, we're talking temperatures highs into the middle 80s with a true taste of summer.

The Brief A weak cold front is expected to bring light showers and possible thunderstorms to Chicago late Saturday into early Sunday. Despite the chance for rain, much of the weekend will remain dry with hazy skies from wildfire smoke. Warmer, sunnier weather is expected midweek, with temperatures climbing into the mid-80s by Wednesday and Thursday. CHICAGO - After a pleasant Saturday, some late-night showers are expected to move through the Chicago area, though the weekend will not be a total washout. What we know A weakening line of showers tied to an advancing cold front is expected to pass over the region late Saturday into early Sunday morning. There's also a slight chance of thunder and gusty winds, though the system is losing strength as it approaches the city. Hazy skies caused by smoke from wildfires in Canada may obscure some sunshine early Sunday, but it is expected to be a partly sunny start to the day. More clouds are expected to roll in by the afternoon, bringing a 55 percent chance of late-day showers or thunderstorms. Sunday's high will reach around 78 degrees, with overnight lows near 58 degrees. Rain may linger into Monday morning, but the chance of precipitation drops to 40 percent.
