Don’t put away the sunblock- summer in Chicago isn’t over yet! Chicago is poised for a major heat wave this weekend following a cool-down this week.
According to the National Weather Service Chicago (NWS), temperatures will hit a high of 82 degrees on Saturday before climbing to a high of 84 degrees on Sunday with the possibility of scattered thunderstorms.
According to the NWS, temperatures will soar to a high of 90 degrees on Monday and remain in the mid-80s into next week.
The National Weather Service Chicago alerted Twitter/X Friday morning, urging Chicagoans to prepare for the temperature spike.
Take steps to plan ahead for the incoming heat and humidity next week,” said the NWS. “Given the relative lack of heat and humidity for our area in July and August, especially recently, we will be less acclimated to these conditions than we normally would be in late August.”
