strong blustery winds. then tomorrow starting out very cold in the morning, even a little bit of a breeze probably knocks those wind chills into the teens but in the afternoon sunny not as windy and improving to 46. then 53 on friday. a bit of an issue early as temperatures in the overnight hours will that dip below freezing. in the northern and western suburbs in particular any early morning shower could freeze up on roads so maybe a little freezing rain early on friday. otherwise just mainly cloudy and 53, passing shower. saturday clouds, some sun, a passing shower but this is still easily the pick of the week with a high of 72 and then a cold front knocks us back to 53 on sunday, mostly cloudy and periods of rain. >> like a hot sandwich. >> take a bite. >> 6:11. mistaken identity. a grammy winner is demanding a investigation into racial profiling for being stopped by police. >> later so close yet so very, very far away. we will show you the wheel of fortune flub that had everybody in the audience
