Chicago weather: Lake breezes bring cooler temps
The Brief
Cooler lake breezes will return today, keeping temperatures in the 70s near the shore and mid-80s inland.
A few isolated showers are possible through the weekend, with the highest rain chances on Saturday and again early next week.
Father's Day will be mostly cloudy but mild, with highs near 80 away from the lake.
CHICAGO - The phrase "cooler by the lake" returns to our parlance in coming days. That includes today.
What we know
Away from the lake, highs will be in the mid 80s and then lake-cooled air will spread inland later this afternoon knocking temperatures down through the 70s. Skies will be partly sunny with only a very small chance of an isolated shower.
Tonight will be mostly cloudy with lows not far from 60 degrees.
What's next
Tomorrow there is a slightly greater chance for scattered showers, particularly from the city and points south. Highs will likely reach the low 80s away from the lake.
Over the weekend, Saturday looks to have the higher chance of scattered showers, but it will certainly be no all-day wash out. Highs will not be far from 80° but it will be significantly cooler near the lake.
On Father's Day it will be partly to mostly cloudy with highs again not far from 80 away from the lake. Temperatures climb a few degrees Monday and Tuesday and both days could feature scattered showers and thunderstorms.

FORECAST: Pop up storms this afternoon
FORECAST: We're drying out from last night's showers, just to rinse and repeat that forecast again! It's going to be hot and humid with highs in the upper 80s, feeling like the low 90s this afternoon. And while the first half of the day is dry, the second half will feature pop-up showers and storm chances again. Similar to the past few days, we'll watch for locally heavy rainfall and flooding issues in areas that storms sit over. Any activity that pops up tonight will slowly clear overnight before we do it again for Father's Day! A similar pattern will continue into next week with temperatures slowly climbing into the low 90s by late week. WATCH ABOVE: The latest forecast update from Severe Weather Center 9.

Scattered PM Storms for Father's Day Weekend, Summer Begins Friday!
FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND:We're starting out in the low 70s this morning, and with dewpoints in the low 70s, there are some areas of fog or reduced visibility. We'll see mostly cloudy skies for today with scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms. We aren't expecting anything severe, but they could definitely pack a punch. Highs today will be in the upper 80s. Sunday, we'll see a little more sun with highs near 90, and again those afternoon and evening pop up showers and storms. NEXT WEEK:We start out with scattered showers and storms, but more isolated to stray storms by the weekend. Monday we'll see mostly cloudy conditions with scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms and highs near 90°. Tuesday through Thursday, the chance for showers and storms decreases as we only see isolated storms and highs in the low 90s. Humidity levels will remain quite highs, so heat index levels could easily approach 100°. By the weekend, the rain chances continue to decrease, although with the humidity levels still fairly high, there will be continued chances for stray afternoon an evening showers and storms. Highs will be in the low to mid 90s. Thanks for watching WRBL News 3 and have a great Saturday! – Meteorologist Brian Thomas Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Rain chances slip heading into the weekend in Central Florida
Our chances of rain are starting to slip as we enter the weekend. Dry air moving in from the Caribbean will reduce rain chances and lead to warmer temperatures for the next week. Saturday's best chance of rain is in the middle of the afternoon. Areas west of Orlando will have the best chance of rain during the afternoon. Severe weather is not expected, but can't be ruled out. If you see a stronger storm, the main impact will be 40 mph wind gusts. Father's Day is looking hot. Afternoon highs will reach the low to mid-90s. Rain chances will be higher near the coast. The dry conditions lead to this heat; we won't see many changes over the next week regarding afternoon highs. Click here to download our free news, weather and smart TV apps.
