Welcome to April where rain and a quick warming are the norm. Skilling Central says April is traditionally Chicago's fastest warming month. It's also April Fools' Day and today's forecast may seem like a bit of a prank after Monday's amazing weather but we won't complain. Both Skilling Central and Accuweather are calling for partly sunny skies, high winds and temps in the low 50s, much cooler than Monday's Baby Bear weather. Things will turn overcast this afternoon and evening and we could see some overnight showers as the winds begin to slow. That sets the stage for some heavy rain Wednesday night that continues into the end of the work week. But hey, at least it isn't snow, eh?
