After a cloudy, chilly and rainy October that failed to produce an official 70-degree high in Chicago for the first time since 1917, the city is finally getting some October-like weather in November. Afternoon highs are slated to break the 70-degree barrier again Sunday as southerly winds carry the late-season warmth into the city. The warm weather is expected to linger into Monday, bringing the city four straight days of 60-degree-plus highs, an occurrence logged this late in the season at Midway Airport only 13 times since 1928. In addition to the return of warmth, Chicago is also drying out after an October that produced precipitation on 23 of the month's 31 days. In contrast, November's opening week produced just one day with rain -- a mere 0.01 inch.
Ida regains strength
Hurricane Ida weakened to a tropical depression after a Nicaragua landfall, but is expected to regain hurricane strength Sunday as it pushes north into the Gulf of Mexico. It could bring rain and strong winds to the Gulf Coast by Tuesday.
