Today's Weather: Cold Sunlight

By Lisa White in News on Apr 23, 2015 1:00PM

Despite a heavy dose of sunshine, we're still feeling a big chill across the Chicagoland area after a freeze warning earlier this morning. Thankfully a low dew point air will warm us up quickly to hit near the 50 degree mark by midday. We'll keep the sunshine all day long, but stay in the low 50s as a high today.

Tonight we'll have clear skies and freezing temperatures in some areas. Friday will be only a few degrees warmer, but that sunlight is sticking around. Those extra layers are at least a little less painful when you've got on shades and sunshine warming up your face.
