What was the temperature in Chicago that afternoon?

To find the temperature in Chicago that afternoon, you start with the overnight temperature and add the rise in temperature.

Given:
- Overnight temperature = \(-7^\circ F\)
- Temperature rise = \(9^\circ F\)

The afternoon temperature is calculated as:

\[
\text{Afternoon Temperature} = -7^\circ F + 9^\circ F
\]

\[
\text{Afternoon Temperature} = 2^\circ F
\]

So, the temperature in Chicago that afternoon was \(2^\circ F\).
