Warm and Windy Sunday

Gusty west/southwest winds Sunday afternoon pushed highs into the middle and upper 60s!  And would you believe it Chicago-O'hare reached 70°.  The warmer weather did come with a price, however.  Peak wind gusts across the area were clocked over 40mph with sustained winds getting close to 30mph.  One of our weather watchers in Kingston (DeKalb Co.) had a wind gust of 52 mph.  Gusts that high were also recorded closer to Chicago.

While winds will be breezy at times today they'll be no where near the strength they were Sunday.
