Chicagoland Temperatures About to Dip Way Below Average

CHICAGO (CBS) — Though fall has not yet officially begun, Chicago and its surrounding areas are about to experience a snap of cold weather this week, reports CBS 2 meteorologist Megan Glaros.

Today's rain, which may continue on and off throughout the afternoon, is part of a cold front that's expected to cause deep dips in temperatures for the remainder of the week.

According to Megan, Chicagoland temps will struggle to reach 60 degrees on Thursday and will likely hover below 60 on Friday.

This is 10-15 degrees below average for this time of year.

For the weekend, temperatures expected to stay in the 60s. Bottom line? Time to break out the fall coats this evening!
