Your Morning Wake-Up Call for June 20, 2011

By Chuck Sudo in News on Jun 20, 2011 12:30PM

Good Morning, everyone. The city is awakening to thunderstorms. Here at Chicagoist's Bridgeport headquarters it's dark outside, the street lamps are still on and we're being serenaded by a duet of rolling thunder and car alarms being set off by the thunderclaps. Today is the start of what is supposed to be a stormy, rainy week in Chicago, with a projected high of 84, storms later in the afternoon and evening. Just the kind of weather we were expecting for the start of our softball league tonight.
