It’s felt like fall this weekend, but summer isn’t done just yet.
Chicagoland recorded its lowest temperatures since May on Saturday, and Sunday has dawned chilly again, with some locations in the upper 30s around 7:30 a.m.
It’s going to get warmer, though.
It should be a beautiful day at Soldier Field for the Bears home opener, as temps will warm into the mid-70s on Sunday afternoon, with plenty of sunshine.
A heat dome is slowly moving east, which will push temps back into the low 80s by Monday, the mid-80s by Tuesday and close to 90 by Wednesday and Thursday.

That could be the final gasp of summer, though, as temps should decline again by next weekend, which is also showing some much-needed September rain in the early forecast. Chicago hasn’t had any rain yet this month, and that looks to continue through a warm, sunny upcoming week.
