Chilly Saturday, windy Sunday ahead for Chicago

The weekend in Chicago is shaping up to be a mixed bag. Saturday stays cool with highs around 47°F downtown, while suburbs may climb to the upper 50s or low 60s. Light rain could pop up Saturday evening and linger into the night, making an umbrella a smart move. Sunday throws a curveball. Temperatures could jump to the low 70s near the lake but climb to nearly 80°F farther southwest. Strong winds up to 40 mph and possible storms later in the day could put a damper on outdoor plans. The lakefront might feel extra chilly thanks to those gusty conditions.Travelers near O’Hare Airport likely won’t face major delays, experts say. High winds usually don’t cause big problems there, but they might slightly slow landing and takeoff rates. Still, it’s worth checking flight updates just in case. So, if Saturday feels like typical fall weather, Sunday will feel like a warm but wild shift. The best bet? Keep an eye on forecasts and plan accordingly.
