Skilling Central's forecast for today notes the expected high of 57 degrees will mark the first time since late May the afternoon high fails to reach the 60-degree mark. Here at Chicagoist's Bridgeport headquarters I'm wearing flannel and have the fireplace in my front room roaring. All I need now is some canned soup and a Smith-Corona typewriter with a sticky "s" key and I can begin writing an anti-technology manifesto. Here is the rest of the forecast: a chance for some light rain throughout the day from the fine gray skies overhead and sharp northwest winds piercing through the mild air. The extended forecast shows a brief respite Friday but otherwise this weather is here to stay.
