Sunny And Comfortable, But Breezy, Afternoon On Tap
CHICAGO (CBS) -- The sun is shining brightly and temperatures will be comfortable Thursday afternoon, but you can be sure that the sweltering summer is a memory now.
CBS 2 Meteorologist Megan Glaros says the high for Thursday will be a comfortable 70. As of 11:20 a.m., it was a 66 in Waukegan, 67 at O'Hare International Airport, Aurora and Joliet, 68 at Midway Airport, and 69 in Kankakee.
The winds won't blow send objects flying out of your hands as they might have on Wednesday, but they will be blowing in from the west at sustained speeds in the teens, with gusts in to the 20s in miles per hour.
And as for the temperature, the Chicago area is pretty well stuck in a fall-like rut. The jet stream is sagging down to keep conditions on the cooler side as far south as Kentucky, and that won't be changing anytime soon.
