Chicago is the only town in America where one has a second chance to be Irish for a day. The weather for your second chance is as follows: possibly record setting. This warm spell that's set three new high temperature marks is going to continue, as we're due for the warmest St. Patrick's Day in 141 years. Thunderstorms are supposed to develop in the late afternoon, but the skies are going to be clear for the St. Patrick's Day Parade this afternoon.
