Good morning, Chicago! This is your weather for Wednesday, January 10th, 2024, and let's get ready to bundle up and maybe do a little snow shuffle today!
Starting off the day, we're sitting at a brisk 32 degrees in the morning, and it's gonna feel a bit nippy as we hover just below freezing throughout the day. The high is inching up to nearly 33 degrees, but don't get too excited, we're not breaking out the shorts just yet.
As we roll into the evening, temperatures will dip slightly to 29 degrees, and then at night, we'll be at around 30 degrees. So, keep that cozy jacket close by, and maybe grab a warm hat, Chicago.
We're also expecting some lovely winter flurries, with a touch of light snow coming down. We're talking a dusting of nearly one quarter of an inch, so it's not a heavy snowfall, but definitely enough to make the city look like a snow globe.
The wind is coming in from the northwest at about 10 miles per hour, with gusts reaching up to 18 miles an hour. So, it might be a good day to test out that new windbreaker you got over the holidays.
Clouds are the theme today, with cloudiness at a cozy 97 percent. It's like a big, fluffy blanket over the city, keeping us in that wintry mood.
Remember to take care out there on the slushy sidewalks, and maybe help out a neighbor if you can. It's the little acts of kindness that warm up these chilly days.
And hey, if you're enjoying your morning weather update, do share it with a local and leave us a 5-star review. It really helps more people in our wonderful Windy City stay informed and start their day right.
Keep warm, and I'll be here for you tomorrow with another update. Have a fantastic Wednesday, Chicago!
