Well we've got rain and wind today, folks. And it's going to stick with us for most of the day. The National Weather Service has issued a rip current warning for Lake Michigan from 1 p.m. - 9 p.m. tonight. As for the rest of the day there's supposed to be a mix of sun and clouds this morning before more violent storms develop and threaten with more rain throughout up to half the Chicago area, with hail in some parts. Temperatures are going to be lower, but the humidity will still be around.
