Your Morning Wake-Up Call for August 26, 2011

By Chuck Sudo in News on Aug 26, 2011 12:30PM

After all the storms and hot weather alerts in July, August has turned out to be one of the most perfect months weather-wise we can remember in quite some time. The last Friday of August brings more of the seasonable weather we've been enjoying, with a high forecast in the mid-80s, lots of sun and light breezes coming off the lake. We wouldn't blame you in the slightest for turning off your computer, going outside and enjoying the day. Summer's fleeting in Chicago. Hell, we may play hooky ourselves.
