Chicagoland weather radar [LIVE RADAR] is all clear at about 6:56 a.m. A small amount of precipitation exists over southwest Michigan.
Infrared satellite image shows a thin band of clouds over the northern tier counties of Illinois barely over the Wisconsin border — a band spinning counterclockwise from a Low Pressure System over eastern Lake Superior.
The deepening Low Pressure is causing the fairly strong winds we are experiencing, and will continue to experience Saturday and Saturday night. West winds at 14 mph are expected to shift to northwest and increase to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph, peaking at about 2:00 p.m. Gust are expected to drop under 20 mph after 6:00 p.m.
Today’s high will barely hit 50 degrees about 3:00 p.m. and will be accompanied by a Wind Chill of 43 degrees. Overnight wind chill low is forecast at 28 degrees at 6:00 a.m. A little warmer tomorrow with mostly sunny skies and with a break in the wind chill from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (49 – 51 degree actual temperature).
No precipitation is expected until Tuesday.
