Chicago First Alert Weather: Cloudy, wet for the weekend
CHICAGO (CBS) -- The weekend looks like this: showers, showers, and more showers.
Today's takeaways:
- Lingering rain and drizzle this morning, then decreasing in coverage by the afternoon. Lingering lake effect showers persist through Sunday.
- Gusty northeast winds to 30-35 mph develop nearing 45 mph along the lake.
- Dangerous conditions are expected along the lakeshore today due to high waves.
The rain will finally go away by Monday, and the sun will come out again on Tuesday.
Today's clouds mean that Chicagoans will not glimpse the annular solar eclipse. (It will peak around noon with 45% coverage, but we won't see it.)
Temperatures will stay in the 50s through Tuesday, with sunshine and 60s returning Wednesday and Thursday.
