If you’re heading out to watch the Chicago River be dyed green for St. Patrick’s Day, you might want to bundle up.
After a week of devastating storms, plummeting temperatures, snow, rain and gusty winds, it appears the weather whiplash will only continue this weekend.
Although it’s going to be a cold day with below-average temperatures, Saturday should provide the best weather this weekend.
Weekend temperatures for the first St. Patrick’s Day events in the Chicago area will remain cold, with mostly cloudy skies Saturday.
Around 10 a.m., at the start of the river dye, feels like temperatures in Chicago are expected to sit in the low- to mid-30s. Afternoon temperatures will be around 40 degrees.
Despite a high wind warning Friday, winds look to calm before the event, dropping from near 60 mph Friday morning to between 5 mph and 15 mph by Saturday.
For those attending the river dye or St. Patrick’s Day parade downtown, conditions will stay mostly cloudy, but largely dry.
There could be an isolated shower or some flurries in parts of the region during the morning hours. The best chance of precipitation is going to be in the evening after 4 p.m., which could bring a mix of light rain or snow. The chances are higher north of the city and into Wisconsin, however.
Things will warm up slightly Sunday, but rain could be in store for the Northwest and South Side Irish parades.
Rain will be possible in the morning, but chances increase after 12 p.m.
There is a possibility the rain holds off until 1 p.m. or later, but we should prepare for rain. Southeast wind gusts will be over 25 mph at times in the morning and could exceed 35 mph in the afternoon and evening.
Highs will reach into the upper-40s and possibly near 50 degrees.
There may even be impactful accumulating snow overnight Sunday into Monday morning as temperatures plummet.
Monday and Tuesday, temperatures dip back down into the 20s.
