Today's weather briefing
Chicago is waking up to a pleasant 24 degrees this morning with a high of 28 degrees expected today, so it's shaping up to be a lovely late spring day with virtually no chance of rain. The UV index is running quite high at 8, so slip on some sunscreen along with light layers you can peel off as the day warms up. Over the weekend, Saturday will sit at a milder 26 degrees with a small chance of showers, but Sunday bounces back to a warm 28 degrees with much lower rain odds, making it the pick of the two days if you're planning anything outdoors.
