    CHICAGO (WGN) — Cool temperatures hang around on Friday night before a sunny and mild weekend gets underway. Looking ahead, things will dry out for the weekend, but temperatures will take a slight dip on Saturday before rebounding on Sunday. The chilly conditions will continue for the start of the weekend where highs near Lake Michigan will be restricted to the 40s and only the middle to upper 50s well inland.

    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.

Don’t worry if you couldn’t make it out to see the fireworks at @NavyPier this evening. I pointed the @FieldMuseum @WeatherBug camera over the lake so we could enjoy a bit of the show. 🎇 https://t.co/wpP5d1D45V
