Chicago is starting the day with cold and windy weather as skies gradually clear after recent severe storms. A tree fell onto cars in the Lakeview neighborhood due to the intensity of the storms. The National Weather Service indicates that winds will remain strong throughout the day, leading to a significant wind chill effect. Residents are advised to dress in layers to stay warm, as the high for the day is expected to be in the low 40s, but it will feel much colder due to the wind.
