Pilot and friend of this blog and the WGN weather team Anson Mount shares Friday morning's sunrise at Waukegan Airport. The day dawned with southwest winds in the wake of an overnight warm frontal passage. The Chicago area is being treated to its first day above 32° in 11! But, the warming is temporary: Strong cooling sweeps the area over the weekend with frigid arctic air back in firm control Sunday, and models still predict the potential for this winter's most brutal cold spell later next week and the following (Super Bowl) weekend. Many thanks, Anson, for sharing this with us!!
