About this Article

Tuesday started with record-breaking temperatures and ended with less rain than expected in advance of the cold front that will send us back to normal January weather today. Temperatures reached 60 degrees at O'Hare International Airport at 6:50 a.m., and peaked at 63 degrees at 1:27 p.m., making it the warmest Jan. 29 in history. "We've got a lot of reports of between one and 1½ inches," a meterologist said Tuesday night.
