If you're a fan of warm, summer weather, today's a day for you. And, actually, it's a gorgeous day for the rest of us as well. Highs today will reach the mid 80s. Yes, that's not joke, the mid 80s. All of a sudden, it's getting all July up in the Windy City. Sunny skies will bring that temperature up but it's going to be a bit breezy with winds coming in from the south with gusts of up to 25 mph. Tonight, it'll cool a bit but it'll still be mild as lows will be in the upper 60s. That's right, readers, we've survived another winter and lived to tell the tale; it'll be our warmest temps since last September.
