Today's Weather: Reaping the Whirlwind

By Chuck Sudo in News on Oct 27, 2010 12:00PM

So we didn't get our dragon yesterday, although parts of the city and suburbs were hit real hard. But the forecasters are predicting today, today, is when the wind makes things very unbearable.

The temperature is predicted to reach the mid-60's, but with winds coming out of the SSW at 30 MPH and gusts of up to 50 MPH, it sure won't feel like it. Expect coffee shops to do real good business today.
