Chicagoans are being advised to lather on sunscreen and stay hydrated Saturday as the city could see its hottest day of the year yet.
Temps hit 86 degrees Thursday and Friday at O’Hare, but the official forecast says it could creep to 87 degrees Saturday, according to Brian Leatherwood, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service. That would make it the hottest day this month and could make it the hottest day of the year so far.
Many Chicagoans chose to soak it in at the city’s beaches. Kelly Bennett, 43, who lives in Edgewater, spent the morning at Rogers Park’s Hartigan Beach and playground with her family.
