It was a chilly first official morning of fall but not cold enough for snow. When do we typically see the first flakes fly in Chicago?
Photographers hoping to grab a shot of Chicagohenge were largely disappointed Thursday as low-lying clouds obstructed what is usually a Kodak moment for downtown-goers.There are sure signs of fall all around us. Temperatures tumbled into the 30s in our colder spots Friday morning.
Saturday night will be the first time this fall our sunsets before 6:45 p.m. In less than a month from now it will be setting before 6 p.m.Snow has flown in previous falls as early as Sept. 25 on two occasions in 1928 and 1942. I don't think we have to worry about flakes falling for at least a few weeks based on the longer range forecasts.We should be below average though from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Notice the big blob of reds and browns to our immediate west. That is where most of country is forecast to be above average. That blob is heading towards Chicago.temperature outlook has us "likely above" average from the end of September through nearly the first week of October. Average highs for this period are between 67 and 69 degrees with average lows between 49 and 51 degrees.
