Rain, Snow and Sunshine in the Forecast this Week

Snow, rain, highs around 40 degrees. Not surprisingly, that's all in this week's forecast.

The forecasted snow Monday (with totals of 3 to 7 inches possible by storm's end) will give way to possibly even more snow on Tuesday, with the National Weather Service in Chicago predicting another 1 or 2 inches.

But, as the old adage says, "If you don't like the weather in Chicago, wait a minute. It'll change." According to the National Weather Service forecast, temperatures should warm to 33 degrees with sunny skies on Wednesday. There's a slight chance of rain after midnight, and then a chance of rain and snow—with a high near 36—on Thursday.

Mostly sunny skies on Friday and Saturday—with highs of 32 and 36, respectively—are expected. We'll round out the week with a chance of rain and a high around 40 on Sunday.

Are you happy that we're finally getting some decent snow this season? Or would you prefer the sunny skies and highs near 40? Tell us in the comments!

Have a great week, everyone!
