Good Morning, Chicago. Schoolchildren across the city head into their final week of summer vacation and it will feel like August tends to be around these parts. Today's forecast from Skilling Central sets the stage for a steady build in temperatures and heat indices throughout the week. Today's predicted high of 85 comes with copious amounts of sunshine and some cumulus clouds. The humidity will push the barometer higher starting Tuesday and we could see showers by Thursday and more hot, humid weather over the weekend. Air conditioners across Chicago that have been silenced in this mild summer will finally have a chance to do their intended jobs.
