The Chicago White Sox wrapped up an American League Divisional Series victory over the Red Sox as pre-cold frontal rains closed in on Boston’s Fenway Park. Heavy rains spreading northward into New England were less than 50 miles away as players and fans left the field Friday evening.
In northeast Illinois, remnant cloudiness was expected to thin, with fair skies and slowly warming conditions anticipated over the weekend. The average high forecast for this weekend is 62°—quite a change from last weekend’s 82°.
Sunday’s LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon weather looks good with morning readings in the 50s under sunny skies.
