Rain is expected to reach the Chicago area late Saturday night and continue into early Sunday morning, but the wet weather should not last through the holiday weekend. Conditions are forecast to improve later Sunday, setting up a warmer and sunnier Memorial Day for the region.
Most of the rain is expected to fall overnight and during the first part of Sunday, according to the forecast. Skies should begin to clear later in the day, and temperatures are expected to climb to around 79 degrees.
Holiday weather turns brighter after the rain
Memorial Day is shaping up to be warm and sunny in Chicago, with highs near 85 degrees. That shift should give residents a much more comfortable end to the holiday weekend after the early rain passes.
The forecast also points to a stretch of dry weather lasting through much of next week. Sunshine is expected from Tuesday through Friday, which would keep conditions stable for outdoor plans across the area.
A small shower chance midweek
One brief interruption could come on Wednesday, when there is a slight chance of showers around 30 percent. Even then, the forecast suggests a cooler trend rather than a major washout.
Temperatures are expected to ease from the 80s into the 70s later in the week. That pattern would keep Chicago in a milder range after the warmer Memorial Day holiday.
