July finishes on fantastic note.
Takeaways for Chicago’s weather:
1. Warming back up this week
2. Next chance of rain late Wednesday
3. Breezes off the lake
Beautiful beginning to the week and a marvelous end to the month of July with mostly sunny skies Monday as highs hit the lower 80s. Little change Tuesday with partly to mostly sunny skies and highs in the lower 80s. More clouds Wednesday with some afternoon scattered showers and thunderstorms possible as highs climb into the middle 80s. Just as warm Thursday with a chance of some showers and thunderstorms early, then mostly cloudy skies. Clouds then some clearing on Friday with highs in the lower 80s. Cooler lakeside each day except for Wednesday.

I’ll keep this short and sweet: Please consider becoming a paid member of Currently today.
Currently has a unique mission in the world: Build a community of scientists, journalists, and climate revolutionaries that together can co-produce daily ways of keeping each other safe amid the climate crisis.
Our daily local weather newsletters are amazing, but they’re just a start. Over the next few weeks and months we’ll be rolling out some exciting actions that have been in the works for the past two-and-a-half years:
Member-ownership (voting rights, revenue sharing, and a tangible stake in our future)
An interactive weather messaging service (with customizable push alerts for dozens of hard-to-find criteria your weather app doesn’t provide, plus live chatting with our team of meteorologists)
Syndication of Currently stories (to help support the sustainability of local climate-forward news and reporting)
It’s just $5 a month or $50 a year to chip in your part to continue making this service possible — and to keep building revolutionary resources like these that will truly change the world. All members get first dibs on our new services, plus a share of direct ownership of our success.
Last week, y’all really came through. So right now we need just 176 new members before midnight July 31 — and I’d love for one of those to be you. Let’s do this!!
