NWS Chicago Area Forecast Discussion 1054 PM CST Thu Nov 30 2017
.SHORT TERM... 1200 PM CST Through Friday...Weather is quiet through Friday. Occasionally gusty west-northwest winds behind this morning`s cold front will ease late this afternoon and even more tonight as high pressure across the plains expands across the southern Great Lakes. With the light winds and clear skies, expect a colder night tonight, with lows in the 20s away from downtown Chicago. The high will shift east of the area Friday afternoon, allowing generally light southwest winds to develop. Temperatures will therefore climb back close to today`s readings in the upper 40s to low 50s. Expect some passing high clouds given the progressive flow aloft. KMD &&
