Pete Sack has the latest forecast.
First came the snow, now comes the cold.
Monday in Chicago is expected to be blustery, mostly sunny and cold, with the potential for some stray flurries, the NBC 5 Storm Team said.
Temperatures Monday are expected to reach only into the low-to-mid 20s, the Storm Team added. However, wind chill values in the teens -- and even lower in the morning hours -- will make things feel even cooler, NBC 5 Meteorologist Pete Sack said.
According to Sack, that's far below the average high for this time of year.
"Average high this time of year is in the low 40s," Sack said. "Highs the next couple of days will only be in the upper 20s with lows in the teens."
Additionally, wind chill values will make it feel between 10 and 15 degrees colder, Sack continued.
Local
The cold temperatures are expected to remain in the mix Tuesday, beginning overnight with lows in the teens and wind chill values in the single digits, Sack said.
High temperatures Tuesday will remain about the same as Monday, forecast models showed, with highs again in the the mid-to-upper 20s.
