Chicago weather sunday8/3/2023 ![]() The National Weather Service recommends people check the current beach status on the Chicago Park District’s website if you plan on going to the lakefront. Strong winds Thursday prompted the weather service to issue a beach hazards statement - in effect until Friday afternoon - warning beachgoers of high waves and dangerous currents. Those were due to “blocking patterns” in the jet stream and “slow-moving low pressure systems,” which caused the flow of cooler air and smoke from the Canadian wildfires across the city, according to meteorologist Rafael Ogorek of the National Weather Service. ![]() That’s a big change from the cool weather and cloudy skies Chicago experienced over the last few days. The forecast for Tuesday is 85 and sunny. Monday’s forecast - 86 degrees and mostly sunny - should be pleasant for Juneteenth celebrations. Meanwhile, Sunday is expected to be mostly sunny with a high of 86. Saturday’s forecast is 80 degrees and sunny. The implication is next week’s active pattern is likely to spill over into the following week.CHICAGO - After a cool and gray week, the sun will be back just in time for the Juneteenth weekend.įriday’s expected high of 72 degrees is still cooler for this time of year, but temperatures will climb into the 80s over the next few days in Chicago, according to the National Weather Service. ![]() Colder air is likely to lock in that system’s wake maintaining the same sort of active jet stream across the region. The potential appears to be there for a wintry mix as it looks now-but critical details on the system’s structure remain to be worked out in the 4-5 days before it arrives. Just what form the precip takes when it arrive Wednesday will be interesting to monitor. The huge north/south temp spread sets up a powerful jet stream which sweeps from west to east across the country and gives rise to the development of a huge late winter storm season in the Wed/Thu time frame.Ĭhicago sits straddles the boundary between warm and cold air and is likely to get in on the storm’s expansive precipitation shield and its likely strong wind field from the ENE which will start to come into play here Tuesday night. At the same time, WARM TEMPS are to occur across the South. It’s one in which frigid arctic air takes up residence the length of the Lower 48 along and south of the Canadian border. I’ve mentioned the pattern taking shape by the middle and end of next continuing into the week which follows. LONGER RANGE: Temps cool modestly Monday and Tuesday next week though both day’s average temps are to still come in more than 5-deg above normal. The Saturday/Sunday high temps are to come in 7 to 15-deg above normal-with highs more typical of mid and late March than mid February. Sunday looks even milder with a high topping 50-deg a good bet. Saturday will see a 15 to 20-deg increase over today as gusty SW winds import milder Pacific air amid a good deal of sunshine. The good news heading into the coming weekend is TEMPS ARE TO BOUNCE BACK to the month’s dominant ABOVE NORMAL WAYS. Chicagoans shivered through the first BELOW NORMAL DAY in 2 weeks and the 2 nd COLDEST DAY OF FEBRUARY with this day’s high of 26 (normal high for Feb 17 is 36-10-deg warmer).Ĭold like this hits hard in a month which has posted a 5-deg surplus and in which 13 of the past 17 days have come in ABOVE NORMAL and a year to date which, despite a few sharp cold blasts have seen nearly 80% of days come in MILDER THAN NORMAL.
