Today's Weather: Spectacular

By Marcus Gilmer in Miscellaneous on Mar 18, 2010 2:00PM

Y'all thought we were kidding but today would be a really, really good day to play hooky or plan hooky for tomorrow. We could see the warmest temps since early November, cracking the 70 degree mark for the first time in 2010. Glorious, spectacular 70 degrees. And and if you can't make it out today, there's always tomorrow. But get outside because in that cruel twist of fate that Chicago weather likes to throw at us, a cold rain/snow mix is forecast for the first official day of Spring this weekend.
