Chicago Set For Gloomy Start To November After Warmest October In Recent Memory

CHICAGO — A stretch of gloomy weather will descend upon Chicago during the first week of November, directly after the city experienced one of its sunniest and driest Octobers in recent memory. It s as if a switch flipped overnight on Halloween, as scattered showers moved over Northern Illinois Sunday morning, breaking a roughly three-week stretch of mostly dry and mild weather for Chicagoans, National Weather Service meteorologist Todd Kluber said. Each day through Friday could also see rain, with the storms likely to usher in cooler temperatures than the area has seen to start the fall. But it will still remain warmer than usual, Kluber said. October was on the drier, more mild side for what we would see for this time of year, Kluber said. So we ve transitioned here into the more seasonable side of what we expect as we re going into November. Intermittent shower chances will linger through at least the middle of the week with the best chances for rain on Tuesday and
