Chicago residents experiencing the fickleness of spring weather can expect a shift from recent dusty conditions to cooler temperatures and a breeze this Saturday. Following a dust storm that swept through parts of the Chicago area, clouds are firmly in place today, resulting in cooler temperatures than the mid to upper-80s seen on Friday, reports Fox 32 . The forecast anticipates a high of 67 degrees at Chicago airports, with the lakefront predicted to be slightly chillier.

A slight break in the clouds might be on the horizon late this afternoon, "especially if you're in the far northwest suburbs," according to Fox 32 . Winds will persist throughout the day, though not as intensely as on Friday, and could gradually subside come afternoon or early evening. Elements of normalcy are peeking through the spring's unpredictable cloak, though Chicagoans will be reaching for jackets rather than the T-shirts of yesterday.

Looking ahead, an optimistic shift should come Sunday with a promising "mostly sunny" day, as detailed by the National Weather Service . Temperatures on Sunday will cling to the 60s within city limits, with the suburbs enjoying temperatures closer to 70 degrees. This comes after a breezy Saturday where west winds are expected to reach around 20 mph, with gusts surging as high as 30 mph.

The new workweek could usher in rain, with the National Weather Service forecasting a 20 percent chance of showers on Monday and increasing odds of rainfall as the week progresses. Monday night has a calculated 40 percent chance of showers, mainly after 1 am, while Tuesday showers are likely, with a 70 percent chance of precipitation. Despite the potential for wetter days ahead, temperatures will remain mild with highs hovering in the mid-50s.
