The temperatures surpassed the 136-year-old record for April 13 at around 3 p.m. when the weather service measured a high of 83 degrees at O’Hare International Airport, according to NWS.The previous record of 82 degrees had been matched in 1941, NWS meteorologist Zachary Yack said. But as high pressure built up and pushed heat into the city this week, the old record couldn’t last.Advertisement
But despite summer warmth waiting in the wings, the beach-worthy weather is poised to soon go away, if only temporarily, as another system brings cooler weather to Chicago. The forecast high sharply drops Sunday to 60 degrees before shooting even lower to 49 degrees — with a chance of snow — on Monday. Monday’s low is expected to be around 39 degrees.
