With Sunday promising a repeat of Saturday's unlimited sunshine and mild temperatures in the middle 50s nearly 15 degrees above normal, Chicagoans are enjoying a third straight mild weekend.
While this weekend's highs in the middle and upper 50s pale in comparison to the back-to-back 70s on Nov. 7-8 and the 63-degree maximum on Nov. 14, the mild conditions will provide ample opportunity for end-of-season yard work or putting up holiday decorations. The balmy weather should last into Tuesday extending the current string of above-normal days to 21-the longest November stretch since 25 straight days were logged at Midway Airport in 1999.
Brief chill may bring snow
The warmth will not last through Thanksgiving as a cold front sends temperatures plunging late Tuesday. Showers should develop with the front and could mix with snow Wednesday as readings drop into the 30s. Thanksgiving looks to be cloudy with some flurries or mixed rain and snow possible with high temperatures struggling to reach 40 degrees.
