Get ready to experience spring, a brief dalliance with summer and then a return to winter – all in the coming weekend.

The forecast calls for warming temperatures that could hit a balmy 70 degrees in some parts of the Chicago region Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.

Thanks to our sponsors:

Enjoy the taste of June while it lasts, because showers and gusty winds will move in Saturday evening. After a blustery start, Sunday will be relatively calm, but cooler during the day. Sunday night brings a swing back toward winter, with the weather service forecasting temperatures falling toward the freezing mark and a chance for slushy snow.

So, to recap: It'll be a typical shorts, rain boots and parka March weekend in Chicago.

We'll see a warmup as we go into the weekend with area-wide 60+ degree temperatures expected Saturday afternoon. A more active weather pattern will follow with strong winds, showers, and possibly storms Saturday night, then rain and snow Sunday night into Monday. #ilwx #inwx pic.twitter.com/cftkyQppfW
