"Sunday

Milder weather finally returns under a sunny sky as winds become southwest. The first above-normal temperatures in three weeks."

Latest forecast from Tom Skilling - Looks like its shaping up to be the one of the better weekends of late.

Well weather channel is saying 50 and Sunny right now. Should be a beautiful day for a drive.

ControlC, does this mean your coming?


I still have problems watching Tommy Skillet head. I remember him when I was a Kid and he worked in Milwaukee. He used to do the weather with an Ally cat puppet. Jeff, Is someone tells you to work with a Puppet, think twice. Tom may have moved onto WGN but the memory remains

I agree.The only thing that could stop from showing up is my sore butt, but (pun intended) it looks like its getting better and by Sunday should be able to take the drive.

At least down here Jeff like him or not seems to get forecast right more often than not. I do not suffer from the burned memory of Jeff with a puppet. I do remember some one who would do the weather from a hammock with an umbrella drink, but that is very distance memory.

He was replaced on the TV6 weather by Tom Skilling (now at WGN-TV in Chicago). Skilling brought along his AMS seal of approval, which he promptly lost when WITI-TV refused to drop Albert from the weather reports over the objections of the American Meteorological Society.
