It’s a rainy start to the work week in Chicagoland, with steady rainfall and pockets of heavy downpours covering the area for the Monday morning commute.
But you’ll be able to fold up the umbrellas later, because it should dry up. The rain will continue through about 8 or 9 a.m., but then it’ll begin to leave the area, with rain chances diminishing and showers becoming widely scattered as the day goes along.
Meanwhile, temperatures remain mild and humid and should top out around 70, with a southerly breeze.
The sun should be back for Tuesday and Wednesday, with temps increasing into the mid-70s — though cooler at the lakefront — for what’s shaping up to be a beautiful week, as the calendar turns from April to May.
