Your Labor Day Wake-Up Call

By Chuck Sudo in News on Sep 5, 2011 1:30PM

Look what we have today, folks: windbreaker weather for the first time in months. Skilling Central calls today's projected high of 66 the "first sub-70 degree day since June 24." (Was it that late?) Wind are supposed to gust anywhere from 15-25 MPH and there's a chance of thunderstorms to the south and east of the area, which may hamper grilling plans for some of you.

Anyway, if there ever was a sign autumn was near, it's today.
