Skilling Central seems very excited about today's forecast, not because it's the same forecast we've had all week, but because, if it holds, it will match the sunniest October on record.

So go out and enjoy the day. We are. And don't play with matches: today's the 140th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire.
