Warm-Up On The Way For Chicago Area: 50 Degrees Possible

Warmer temperatures may be on the way for a small break from the winter weather, as highs of 50 degrees are possible on Monday.

But first, there is a possibility for very fine light snow, "snizzle," or very light freezing drizzle to linger for a couple of hours on Friday morning, the weather service said.

The high for Friday is 38 degrees. If the precipitation changes to all freezing drizzle, then the threat of icing would be low, the weather service said.

Lake effect snow is also possible Friday night, but mostly for northwest Indiana.

"Otherwise, dry conditions can be expected for the weekend with temperatures warming into next week," the weather service said on its Facebook.

Saturday has a high of 28, and Sunday has a high of 39. The real warm-up may come on Monday, which has a high of 50 degrees. According to the current forecast, the warmth could stick around on Tuesday too, which has a high of 48.
