Full transcript

Good morning, Chicago. You are looking at a beautiful July Saturday with a current temperature of 70 degrees and a comfortable high reaching 80 later today. With zero percent chance of rain and light 8 mph winds, you can leave the umbrella at home and keep the windows open. The humidity is a bit high this morning at 81.7 percent, but it will feel great once you get moving. Since temperatures will stay steady between 70 and 80 degrees, a light t-shirt is perfect, though you might want a thin layer if you are heading to the North Avenue Beach early. Enjoy the partly cloudy skies and a peaceful commute on the L platform before things heat up even more tomorrow.
