The lake effect rain and snow showers that have been impacting northwest Indiana over the past few days have moved east and out of our CWA region. Northwest Indiana is still under lake effect cloud cover currently, which may persist until later tomorrow evening, when skies eventually will clear out. For the rest of the CWA, clear skies and seasonable temperatures will be what we see through the weekend and the beginning of next week.

Temperatures tonight will fall into the mid to upper 20s across most of Illinois and western northwest Indiana. If the lake effect cloud cover does stay in parts of northwest Indiana, temperatures will stay warmer, likely staying just above freezing. After the lake effect clouds depart the area fully, likely by Sunday evening, conditions look to turn sunny and dry through at least next Wednesday.

Over the next few days, temperatures will begin to warm to near normal tomorrow, with high temperatures rising up to the upper 40s and low 50s tomorrow. Next week, temperatures will steadily rise into the upper 50s and low 60s, well above normal for mid November. Conditions look to remain dry and sunny through Wednesday as well.

Outside of a low-end VFR lake effect clouds brushing GYY to the east, VFR conditions and mostly clear skies are expected through the period. High pressure building over the area will result in light NW winds around 5 knots or less through today, though a weak lake breeze will likely shift winds E around 5 knots at ORD/MDW/GYY late very in the afternoon. Winds will then settle SW overnight.
