Well isn't the wind whipping up some significant sturm und drang this morning? Boughs are bending but not breaking outside Chicagoist's Bridgeport headquarters and samara seeds litter the street. It's a bit drizzly right now and that will continue through midday. As for the rest of the forecast, we're already near Skilling Central's forecast high of 56, a far cry from the high 80s we enjoyed earlier in the week. (Accuweather, in a rare show of agreement on the mercury readings, is also predicting a 56-degree high.)

The skies are expected to clear inland overnight as the lows drop further to the low 40s.
