Have you had your sweaters dry-cleaned yet? If not, at least wear a fleece or a hoodie today as it is going to be cold—cold for this time of year, at least. It isn't because the Bears lost. It's simply a nice surge of cold air from Canada settling into Chicago. Today's forecast calls for cloud cover, winds from the west at 20 to 30 mph and a high in the upper 40s. the mercury drops overnight to near freezing. Expect the weather to go through a "lather, rinse, repeat" cycle like this throughout the week and get break out your sweaters now.
