The weather continues to warm and the mercury continues to climb around the Chicago area today. Skilling Central says we're in store for one of the hotter days of the month with the forecast high of 88. (Accuweather has us pegged at 85.) Nice temps in store for us and at least they aren't in the 90s. The humidity levels are also expected to climb, yet remain comfortable.

We're also under an air quality alert from the Illinois EPA until midnight, which is something we haven't had to worry about most of the summer.
