Your Morning Wake-Up Call for July 22, 2011

By Chuck Sudo in News on Jul 22, 2011 12:30PM

We're looking west out of the window of our home office in Chicagoist's Bridgeport headquarters and see nothing but clouds with a nice breeze blowing through. If this keeps up there will be no coffeehouse squatting today. The mercury is dropping a little bit, as well. Skilling Central predicts a high of 91. Accuweather has the high temp at 94. Both also say we're due for the heaviest rains in the area in over a month. But while Skilling says the best chance for rain is today, Accuweather has it raining all weekend. Normally this would be cause for cheer for folks complaining from the heat, but the dew point is so high it's only going to compound the sticky feeling outside. So continue to hydrate if you're outside.
