Good Morning, everyone. Wednesday was a tale of Chicago's two sides. While the rain fell hard south of Madison Street, the skies were mostly clear on the North side. But boy did we need the rain. Today's forecast calls for a return of the cool temps we've had around these parts the past week and clear skies. The temps are expected to peak in the mid-70s and will be uniform across much of the area. The winds will pick up a bit, which has the National Weather Service calling for beach hazards statement along lakefront due to the high waves expected. Swim at your risk, folks.
