Lombard, IL —
Residents digging out their spring jackets today to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather might remember what they were digging out exactly one year ago: Cars, homes, themselves, from the blizzard of 2011 that left the Chicagoland area blanketed with up to 20 inches of snow in some areas.
The forecast for today is vastly different, with forecasted temperatures creeping into the upper 50s. The temperature at 2 p.m. at O’Hare had reached 56 degrees, according to the National Weather Service, nearly 30 degrees above normal. This follows the trend of a mild January, which saw an average temperatures between 5 and 6 inches above normal.
So how long can people expect these spring-like temperatures to stick around? According to the National Weather Service, temperatures should reach into the 50s again, Wednesday, before dipping back into the 40s on Thursday.
