A stationary front settled over the Chicago area overnight, drifting north through my area around 8am and drifting back south around 2pm. As those overlapped almost perfectly with when I walked the dogs today, I got to be incorrectly dressed twice. When I walked the girls at 8am, the temperature was drifting down from 20°C to 15°C; just now it vaulted from 15°C to 28°C (with a heat index over 30°C):

Both dogs are now splooting on my floor.
Tomorrow, the forecast says a cold front will pass through with rain and thunder, bringing the high to only 12°C on Wednesday. Turns out, both dogs and I enjoy that temperature.
I will now close my windows and hit the A/C.
