Chicago Weather: Models Hint at Possible Snowfall This Weekend
Mild autumn weather continues through Friday before a weekend system may bring the season’s first mix of rain and snow to the Chicago area. Meteorologist Mike Caplan from FOX 32 shared details on the evolving forecast.
Short-Term Outlook
Despite a passing cold front, Thursday will have plenty of sunshine and brisk winds. Highs will range from the low to mid-50s in northern counties to around 60 in the south. Tonight will be mostly clear and chilly, with temperatures dipping into the 30s.
On Friday, skies will start off partly cloudy, becoming more overcast late in the day. Highs should reach the upper 50s, with a few light showers likely after midnight. Rain will be minimal, and by daybreak, skies will clear for another mild day with highs in the low to mid-60s.
Weekend Forecast
Saturday will begin with a mix of sunshine and clouds, followed by rain moving in later in the day. Forecast models indicate that colder air may move in overnight, potentially turning some of the rain into snow. However, measurable snowfall appears unlikely for now.
Model Predictions
“Both the US and European models are showing this scenario to at least some extent.”
The models suggest a brief rain-to-snow transition late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, but significant accumulation is not expected.
Author’s Summary
The Chicago forecast calls for mild weather through Friday, followed by weekend rain that could briefly turn to snow as colder air arrives, though accumulation remains uncertain.
