Today's Weather: Warm It On Up

By Lisa White in News on Mar 13, 2015 1:00PM

Leave those winter coats at home and find the nearest bar with an open patio, today we're celebrating what is likely the warmest day of the year so far! Sure, we might have to trade that beautiful sunshine that has been hanging around, but we'll creep up into the 60s today. We'll see overcast skies and possible light rain in a few southern suburbs, but it will be a perfect day to enjoy some fresh air.

Tomorrow our temperatures will dip back down a bit but sun will return. Overall we're looking at a lovely spring-like weekend and although wind will move in late Sunday, we might actually reach 70 degrees on Monday. Don't pack away your winter coat just yet, it is Chicago after all, but you're safe leaving it at home the next few days. Enjoy.
