Your Morning Wake-Up Call for July 11, 2011

By Chuck Sudo in News on Jul 11, 2011 12:30PM

Good Morning, everyone. Today we start the quick ride toward Pitchfork Music Fest and, for those of you who either didn't get tickets or don't care, other street fairs and things to do. We're praying for rain here, as it's starting to become just a little bit uncomfortable with the humidity. Skilling Central and Accuweather are calling for thunderstorms today, but drink plenty of liquids as the heat index (with a projected high in the low 90s) is expected to reach triple digits.
