Currently in Chicago — November 27, 2023: Mostly sunny week ahead

The weather, currently.

The first measurable snow of the season arrived this weekend, and the view outside my window has suddenly shifted from autumn colors to a wintery landscape, complete with colorful holiday lights and wreaths. We might see a little more accumulation tonight, for a total of 1 to 2 inches throughout Chicagoland, and a low around 24.

Monday won’t really warm up, only to a high of 26 with gusts up to 25mph, and tomorrow night will drop to about 19. But it will be mostly sunny through Thursday, and after tonight the temps will start to rise again. Are you sick of leftovers yet?

What you can do, currently.

Everyone deserves to thrive. Everyone is worthy of a better world. That’s why we’re building a weather service for the climate emergency.

Currently’s new weather service is now live. In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll be continually adding more features and opening up more slots as we develop the service.

But for now, space is limited in the weather service because I want to make sure we can provide the highest quality service we possibly can while we work to refine the system with your input.

If you’d like to put your name on the waiting list, be sure to fill out our baseline survey if you haven’t already which will hold your spot in line.

Our goal — as always — is to co-create the most personalized, most informative weather service that exists. And, above all, to make this service accessible, equitable, and resilient enough to bring safety and joy to the climate emergency.
