Today's Weather: On The Rise

By Lisa White in News on Mar 16, 2015 1:00PM

Hopefully you spent some time enjoying all the sunshine and warmer weather that graced our fair city this past weekend. We'll be treated to more of the same today but even warmer, with a glimpse of what is likely our first 70-degree temperature reading of the year. We will have some clouds and possible gusty winds but the warmer weather more than makes up for it.

Don't get too comfortable, though. The mercury will dip back down tomorrow, with highs staying in the mid to upper-40s for most of the week. And although Spring officially begins Friday afternoon, we'll possibly see some wintry mix across the area that day. Because it truly isn't Chicago weather without a few false starts to warmer weather.
