You're waking up to another day of overcast skies, mild temps and brisk winds, Chicago. Let's act like we've done this before, okay? The mercury is expected to climb to near 60 degrees and Skilling Central has scattered showers in the forecast, so wear a hat, at least.

As for the rest of the day the winds will shift to the northwest and blow between 15-25 mph, which is why there's a small craft advisory in effect from noon today until 3 p.m. Sunday. If you want to kayak, canoe or sail, we advise against it. With five-foot waves predicted, you Third Coast surfers may want to consider coating your longboards in Sex Wax and breaking out the bodysuits. The conditions could be perfect for tasty waves and a cool buzz.
