Chicago got off to a soggy start Wednesday morning—and if predictions from the National Weather Service are any indication, the rain isn’t going anywhere right away.
The weather outlook shows multiple rounds of heavy rain and storms through Thursday night, with conditions clearing up by the weekend.
Here’s a breakdown of the forecast.
100% chance of precipitation Wednesday and Thursday
Chicago will see a 100% chance of precipitation Wednesday and Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.
Wednesday will see a high of 66 degrees and showers throughout the day, with wind gusts up to 15 mph and rainfall totals up to half an inch.
Thursday will bring a high of 71 with showers and a thunderstorm possible, with new rainfall totals up to one inch.
Rainy conditions will linger overnight Thursday, finally clearing by Friday for a high of 65 and plenty of sunshine.
Saturday and Sunday will bring brisk autumn temperatures with highs in the mid 60s and sunny conditions.
To sum it up, we’ll have to endure another extended bout of rain, but it’ll pay off marvelously this weekend. Be sure to plan some fun fall activities and get outside!
