Spring Temperatures Make Weekend Visit to Chicago

Thank goodness for the South.

Winds from the region are bringing warm weather for Easter weekend. 

A sunny Saturday could hit 54 degrees, the National Weather Service predicts. And spring-like weather will stay throughout Sunday, with a slight chance of rain. 

It’s the first time Chicago temperatures have hit 50 degrees since January, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The gift from the South won’t last long as a jet stream from the Northwest will bring winter back to the city. Monday and Tuesday’s temperatures will be in the 30s.  

The unnaturally cold weather is due to a dome of mild air draped from Russia across the North Pole, the Tribune reports.
