Thursday also saw warm temperatures along with gusty winds, as rain and storms swept through some parts of the Chicago area
Chicago is expected to tie — or even break — a February weather record Friday, but it’s not because of cold or snow. In fact, it’s the opposite.
According to the NBC 5 Storm Team, the high temperature Friday for Chicago is expected to be 56 degrees. That temperature ties the weather record Feb. 8, set all the way back in 1886.
Some parts to the south Friday could hit 60 or even 61, NBC 5 Meteorologist Alicia Roman said, eyeing parts of Kankakee.
“Unseasonably warm, if not record or near-record warmth today,” Roman said.
Friday is also expected to be bright and sunny but breezy, with wind gusts as high as 35 miles per hour at times.
