Residents of Bernalillo County can expect a shift in weather patterns starting Friday night, though the immediate impact is localized to the Chicago area described in the source data. The cold air mass arrives Friday evening, dropping temperatures into the 30s. This marks a cooler period compared to the previous night. Winds are expected to lighten as midnight approaches, while cloud cover decreases.
Meteorologist Kevin Jeanes noted that a few showers moved across northwest Indiana on Friday night. However, most precipitation activity remained over far western Michigan as winds came off the lake. As this storm system moves away, winds will relax and skies will clear overnight.
Saturday will feature clear skies with only a few passing clouds. After a freezing start, the day will be bright but chilly. High temperatures are projected to reach only the low 50s. Light winds will persist through the day. By Sunday morning, temperatures will fall to the upper 30s, which is slightly warmer than the Saturday morning low.
Sunday afternoon sees temperatures climb close to 60 degrees. Winds will pick up, with gusts potentially exceeding 20 mph before easing Sunday night. For the Bears game, conditions are forecast to include lighter winds with a breeze around 10 mph. Temperatures will drop into the 40s throughout the event.
The weather remains mostly clear through Sunday night. Temperatures will rise back above average next week, with highs in the low 60s on Monday and Tuesday. Colder air will settle in again later in the week, bringing a chance for lake-effect rain showers from Wednesday night through Friday. Highs will fall into the 40s by Friday and Saturday before temperatures begin to rebound the following Sunday.
