Rainy Days and Monday: One and the Same

We begin the week with patchy fog Monday morning, and drizzle or rain in the afternoon. Expect a high temperature near 39, with slight winds of 10 to 15 mph out of the south. The chance of rain is high at 90 percent. West of the suburbs, from Sandwich to Rockford , freezing rain is possible.

Overnight, more rain likely and the precipitation could turn to snow but little accumulation is expected. (Are you relieved? On the East Coast, some regions have 40 inches of snow after the weekend blizzard.) Continued fog before midnight. Wind gusts could hit 25 mph.
