The one good thing about a cold front in November

We're having a bit of odd weather in Chicago today. The temperature rose overnight, fell after sunrise, and has gone back up almost to where it was right before sunrise. The dewpoint, however, has stayed the same. That, plus the breezy winds out of the southwest, has pushed the clouds out over the lake:

This won't last. A bomb cyclone over the Pacific Northwest will push some nasty "wintry mix" towards us by Thursday. Our sunny 15°C weather will give way to this:

Wednesday Night
A chance of rain before 8pm, then a chance of rain and snow between 8pm and 10pm, then a chance of snow after 10pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 1. West wind 20 to 25 km/h, with gusts as high as 40 km/h. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

Thursday
Rain and snow, becoming all rain after 3pm. High near 6. Breezy, with a west northwest wind 25 to 30 km/h increasing to 30 to 35 km/h in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 60 km/h. Chance of precipitation is 80%.

November approaches. Today, though? We'll take October weather.

You'd better find an alternative to NOAA after Tangerine Wankmaggot resumes his tyranny, Oh wait, you don't really believe he's actually going to shut down NOAA and f*ck the American people just to stroke his own ego. Uh-huh.
