Today's Weather: Viento del Sur

By Chuck Sudo in News on Dec 31, 2010 1:00PM

As of the time we filed this morning's weather post (6:10 a.m.) we've got shorts and Timberlands on ready to walk the Chicagoist Office Manager. The rain that started yesterday is still coming down, lightning just struck in Bridgeport and there was a low rumbling of thunder. The high is expected to be 55 today, but this is the type of weather that leads to people opening their coats and then catching a cold, so be smart.

What's really going to effect the weather today is a hard wind from the south gusting up to 30 mph. Which means this balmy weather ain't going to be around long. Tomorrow will be a return to winter. Enjoy this sloppy mess while you can.
