Welcome to a new month, shorter days, falling leaves and July-level temperatures, everyone. Skilling Central's forecast calls for hazy conditions with highs in the mid-80s and the sun being filtered through cloud cover along with southwest winds gusting up to 23 mph. the overnight forecast will be nearly as wacky, with temps dropping to the mid-50s. Get ready for some showers and possible thunderstorms late Wednesday night and Thursday.
