Good Morning, everyone. How about that thunderstorm last night? It was impressive but had us wishing for thundersnow here at Chicagoist's Bridgeport headquarters. The rains will likely also lead to some flooding, ugly looking dibs and slick driving conditions once the weather starts to cool later. Skilling Central's forecast high of 40 degrees has already been reached, and then some. Winds will shift to the west and gust up to 40 mph, dropping the mercury as the day progresses. Be careful driving and walking where ever you're going. This is going to wind up being an icy day before it's over.
