Chicago’s Weather Surprise: Mild Temps Continue, But a Wintry Mix Could Bring Icy Conditions Saturday Night!

Hey Chicago, enjoy the mild weather while you can! Temperatures are staying surprisingly comfortable for now, but don’t let your guard down—Mother Nature might throw a wintry mix our way Saturday night.

Friday, January 31:

  • Morning: Rain and dense fog will make for a dreary and hazy commute, so take it slow and use your low beams.
  • Afternoon: The rain will start to ease, but temperatures will cool off a bit.
  • High: 39°F (4°C)
  • Low: 31°F (-1°C)

Saturday, February 1:

  • Daytime: Expect a mix of sun and clouds, with temperatures holding steady around 33°F (1°C).
  • Evening: Here’s where things get tricky—a wintry mix of rain, snow, and possibly freezing drizzle could move in as temps hover near 32°F (0°C).

What to Watch For:

  • Slick roads: The combo of rain, possible ice, and snow could make Saturday night driving a bit dangerous. Be cautious, especially on bridges and overpasses.
  • Low visibility: Foggy conditions on Friday morning could make things tough during your commute, so leave extra time.

How to Stay Safe:

  • Driving tips: If you’re on the road, drive slowly and maintain plenty of space between cars. Use your headlights and stay alert.
  • Be prepared: Saturday night’s wintry mix could bring quick changes, so stay updated with local weather alerts.

What’s Next:

The wintry mix is expected to clear by Sunday, leaving us with colder but calmer conditions. For now, enjoy the mild temperatures, but keep your gloves and scraper close just in case!

Stay safe, Chicago, and have a great weekend! 🌧️🌨️
