Three straight days of temperatures in the 60s, mostly cloudy skies and scattered rain have made this the coolest Memorial Day weekend in about 12 years, says WGN-TV meterologist Tom Skilling.
The high temperature today was expected to reach only 66 or 68 degrees, with scattered showers or thunderstorms.
The last time it was this cool on Memorial Day was 2009, when the mercury reached only 67 degrees. Today will be about 27 degrees cooler than last year's Memorial Day, which was a scorching 95 degrees.
There will be several rounds of showers and thunderstorms threatening outdoor activities today. And southeast winds 12 to 22 miles an hour will keep temperatures even cooler along Lake Michigan -- about 60 degrees.
It will be cloudy overnight with scattered showers and thunderstorms, and low temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s.
Tuesday will be warmer and more humid, with high temperatures in the low 80s, winds up to 25 miles and hour and heavy downpours possible.
