Welcome to the humpday, everyone and it's a bit chilly to start your morning, a sign of the day to come. Expect plenty of sunshine and mild temps as the day moves forward. Highs in the low 70s—in the middle of August, no less—are a bit foreign but we'll take what we can get. Hold off on any plans for early morning swimming or rowing by the lake, however. The lakefront is still under a small craft advisory and beach hazards statement until 10 a.m.
