Waves of rain for Election Day in Chicago
CHICAGO (CBS) — Following more than two inches of rain in parts of Illinois and Indiana since Monday night, rain showers clear the area after the polls close Tuesday evening. Cooler air blows in behind a cold front.
High temperatures Wednesday drop to more typical November levels in the 50s under mostly cloudy skies. A few lake effect sprinkles are possible in northwest Indiana, but rain is unlikely overall.
Cool, pleasant weather persists through Friday then the next storm system brings rain late Saturday into early Sunday of Veterans Day weekend.
In the tropics, Tropical Storm Rafael is churning toward Cuba then the Gulf of Mexico. While it may reach category 1 or 2 hurricane strength this week, it will likely be weaker by landfall along the northern Gulf Coast.
