A beautiful morning for a polar plunge in Lake Michigan. Ha! Well, actually the shore is ice-free and water is 38 degrees– so not too bad for this part of March. Increasing clouds later. High 45, except along the lake near 39. #ILwx #INwx @WGNNews @WGNRadio pic.twitter.com/VtjkuhKIWx

Tonight: Clouds, steady temps & rain developing late. ESE 10-20 mph

Low 37

Clouds return fully tonight and rain moves in after dinnertime around #Chicago. Chance of some t'storms after midnight. The rain is coming in a tad earlier than we expected yesterday– so could be out of here a bit sooner on Monday too. #ILwx #iNwx @WGNNews @WGNRadio pic.twitter.com/SzNviJyGIH
