CHICAGO - After a sunny and mild Memorial Day across the Chicago area, the cooler-than-average trend continues through the rest of the week—with some midweek rain chances before a warmer weekend.
What we know
Temperatures on Monday stayed in the 60s and low 70s under mostly sunny skies, offering a comfortable holiday across the region. That trend continues overnight as clouds build and lows dip into the lower 50s, with some northern spots near the Wisconsin state line dropping into the upper 40s.
Tuesday and Wednesday are shaping up to be mostly cloudy with scattered showers. Highs will again hover in the mid-60s—about 10 degrees below the seasonal average. Areas near the lakefront will stay cooler, likely topping out around 60 degrees.
Thursday looks drier overall, but a stray shower can't be ruled out. Highs will climb closer to 70 degrees. By Friday, the next round of showers is expected with warmer air pushing highs into the mid to upper 70s.
What's next
Looking ahead to the weekend, the forecast improves with partly cloudy skies and highs in the low 70s on Saturday and near 80 on Sunday.
Sunday marks the beginning of June and all signs are pointing toward a big warmup that will have it feeling like summer.

Hong Kong issues highest storm warning as typhoon Wipha approaches
Hong Kong issues highest storm warning as typhoon Wipha approaches (Corrects slug for media clients to 'ASIA-WEATHER/HONGKONG') BEIJING (Reuters) -Hong Kong issued its highest storm warning on Sunday as Typhoon Wipha, packing winds of more than 167 kilometres (103 miles) per hour, brought heavy rain and wind across the territory, forcing the cancellation of more than 200 flights. The city's weather observatory raised its storm signal to No. 10 at 9:20 a.m. (0120 GMT) and said it expected it to remain at that level "for some time". Wipha will skirt around 50 km to the south of the observatory, the warning showed. Hurricane-force wind is affecting the southern part of Hong Kong, the observatory said. Cathay Pacific Airways cancelled all of its flights arriving or departing Hong Kong airport between 5 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Sunday. It waived ticket change fees and made arrangements for customers to re-book. Most public transport was suspended on Sunday, including ferries amid high sea swells. Solve the daily Crossword

‘The Voice, It Turned Out, Belonged to a Small, Older Woman'
Supermoon Dear Diary: I was walking down a street on the Upper East Side one fall weeknight, lost in some personal problem, when I heard a voice shout: 'Stop!' The voice, it turned out, belonged to a small, older woman in a maroon coat. 'Back up and look up,' she said. I did as I was told. The several steps back I took brought me out from under an awning so that suddenly I could see the moon, big and brilliant, hanging over the street. I hadn't noticed just how bright a night it was. 'It's a supermoon,' the woman said. 'I heard about it on the radio. NPR. I just had to come out and see it.' 'And,' she continued, pointing the pint container in her hand heavenward, 'why wouldn't I get myself some ice cream, too?' 'It's wonderful,' I said, and we stood right there, listening to the happy clatter from a nearby Italian restaurant and admiring the supermoon together. — Sarah Skinner Submit Your Metropolitan Diary Your story must be connected to New York City and no longer than 300 words.
