Sunny end to the work week

On Friday, Chicago features partly sunny skies and highs in the mid-70s after fog burns off; Meteorologist Brad Miller notes this date marks the anniversary of the 1987 flash flooding event.
Expect lots of sun on Saturday, though Sunday features increasing clouds with showers arriving midday; these weekend conditions contrast with the torrential rains that historically impacted the region.
Next week will bring consistent seasonable warmth with highs near 80, continuing a pleasant trend after this cooler than average weekend.
Hare Airport reported 9.35 inches of rain in 18 hours during the 1987 deluge, easily exceeding the previous 24 hour record of 6.24 inches.
Heavy rains swelled the Des Plaines River above flood stage, forcing many rescues from stalled vehicles; the Kennedy Expressway became a footpath for thousands of travelers to the airport.
