    Weather MapsInteractive RadarWeather Bug CamerasSpringtime in Chicago: A time of year when it’s possible to have weather from all four seasons in short order. While we’ve had a few recent days that flirted with 70 degrees, the month’s wild temperature swings make all sorts of precipitation possible. We’re several days out, but forecast models are showing the possibility of a rain/snow mix on Monday. Areas far south of Chicago may even see flakes on Sunday.

If you’re heading to @ofcwrigleyfield for the @Cubs home opener, a t-shirt won’t cut it. The chance for rain is low at 1:20, but scattered shower potential rises later this afternoon. #GoCubsGo #MLB #BeHereForIt ⚾️ 🐻 https://t.co/PQRJt01rlt
