It's August and you could feel the tug of autumn if only it wasn't warm. Today begins another spike in the mercury with a high in the low 90s but humidity levels across the area will remain low, meaning pleasant weather without the assistance of air conditioning. The winds are coming in from the east and northeast which means you folks taking a sick day and heading to the lakefront will enjoy some ideal beach weather. Just don't kick sand in my face if you recognize me.
