What to expect:
Sunday night will be chilly, with lows in the 40s for most areas and upper 40s to near 50 degrees in Chicago. Monday looks pleasant, with highs warming into the low to mid-70s under mostly sunny skies.

Warmer, summerlike air returns by midweek. Highs reach the lower 80s Wednesday under partly cloudy skies, and Thursday will be sunny with highs again in the lower 80s.
The warm trend continues Friday and Saturday, with highs in the mid-80s. A cooldown is expected Sunday, when highs return to the 70s.
