Day One of Lollapalooza weekend is going to be the mildest but potentially the wettest. Clouds will be in place most of the day - but you can still get sunburned so lather up! - and highs will only reach up to around 80. It'll be a bit more humid, though, and rain moves in, especially after 1 pm. It could get pretty muddy over at Grant Park. And over the rest of Chicago, too. The scattered storms continue into the evening hours and lows will only fall to around 70 tonight. So, take a poncho, kids.
