As is often the case in a Chicago Spring, we’ll have warm temperatures Friday, but the pleasantries will be negated by high winds and increasing clouds Friday. It looks like Sunday and Monday are the best days, but Friday and Saturday will be a big improvement over the days experienced over the last few weeks.
