CHICAGO — Get your grill out: This Labor Day weekend will be warm and rain-free.

Each day of the long weekend will be sunny — or at least dry — with high temperatures at least in the 70s, said AccuWeather meteorologist Paul Walker.

"Have a nice picnic," Walker said. "It looks like great weather for the end of the summer."

Friday will kick things off with a high of 73 degrees and "a lot of sunshine," Walker said.

Saturday will warm up 77 degrees and will also be sunny, Walker said. Sunday will see some clouds and a high temperature of 82 degrees.

Monday, which will hit 86 degrees, will actually feel close to 90 degrees because of higher humidity, Walker said. There will be clouds and less sun.

"Personally, I like Saturday," Walker said. "It's not too warm and [will have] a lot of sunshine."
