Today's Weather: Springy

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Mar 5, 2009 3:00PM

Last night, I fell asleep watching live baseball. Sure, it may have been a spring training game between the Sox and Cubs' split squads, but it was real, live baseball, another sign that spring is creeping ever closer. Another sign? Today's weather. Gusty south winds will bring warmer temps our way under variable cloudy skies with high temps reaching the upper 50s to around 60. Tonight skies will remain cloudy with a slight chance of showers and a low in the mid-40s. But fear not, Chicago, the long, slow climb to summer has begun.
