Skilling Central has been crowing most of the week about how this run of warm weather may be one for the record books. Today's forecast is a perfect example of that. If we reach the forecast high of 78 degrees, it'll set a new record for this date. So all eyes will be on O'Hare today, where the official temperature is recorded. This weather is more akin to early June. We'll also have gusty south-southwest winds and plenty of sunshine throughout the day. And to think we were anxious to leave the house yesterday.
