While our pals on the East coast are having their fills of Hurricane Sandy, the mere taste we've received the past couple days has been enough to wreak some havoc with morning commutes. Service on Metra's BNSF rail has been affected, and travel on CTA buses and trains seems to be normal so far. So what we really need to worry about is the lakeshore flood warning in effect until 4 p.m. Wednesday. As for the weather, expect gusts up to 50 mph&mdashwe're under a wind advisory until 7 p.m., temps in the high 40s, plenty of dark clouds and scattered showers.
