TGIF and all that but we've got an eye on you, Friday. Your high will be in the lower 70s, a bit warmer than the cool weather we've had all week.

The man, who was arrested earlier this week, had been picked up after a member of the public reported seeing a man resembling a police sketch of one of the suspects. While police said one victim had positively identified the man in a lineup, a Cook County assistant state's attorney cited a lack of evidence as why the man was not charged.
