Chicago is experiencing mostly clear skies accompanied by light winds, creating conditions conducive to cooler temperatures overnight.
According to CBS News, temperatures are expected to drop into the 40s°F (4-9°C) in most areas, with some northwest suburbs seeing lows in the 30s°F (1-4°C).
These conditions may lead to patchy frost in the colder regions.

Why It's Important?

Residents in Chicago's northwest suburbs should be prepared for patchy frost overnight, which could affect sensitive plants and outdoor vegetation. While the frost risk is localized to areas with temperatures dipping into the 30s°F (1-4°C), the rest of the city will experience cooler but frost-free conditions. Those planning early morning activities should dress warmly, as the chill may linger until sunrise.
