Here's hoping you all are giving your autumn wardrobes a thorough workout because the forecast today and for the foreseeable future is going to be downright chilly. Skilling Central and Accuweather are each calling for periods of light rain this morning with highs below the average for this date of 62 degrees. Winds from the west will make things feel cooler before shifting in the evening and bringing warm air to the area for Friday. Otherwise, consider the next week a dress rehearsal for November.
