CHICAGO - After a February that gave Chicago its worst cold snap in years, spring-like
weather is around the corner, with highs in the 60s predicted next week.
Temperatures could rise to the 50s on Sunday and become unseasonably warm in the low 60s during the first three weekdays, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Todd Kluber.
But the warm weather may be short-lived.
The welcome warm-up comes after Chicago experienced its coldest and snowiest February since 2015, Kluber said.

After a month that saw Chicago smothered under an endless blanket of snow and sub-freezing temperatures, residents might be tempted to break out their shorts and fire up the grill as temperatures are expected to soar into the mid-50s this weekend and even near 60 just an hour south of the city.
After a brief spell of rain and snow on Friday night, temperatures could reach a high of 50 degrees on what is expected to be a sunny Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.
On Sunday, temperatures could climb even higher to 54 degrees during the day, before plummeting to a low in the mid-20s at night, the weather service said.
