If the dew points and humidity levels are an indication the question regarding today's forecast isn't if it will rain, but when. Both Skilling Central and Accuweather say the thunderstorms could start as early as this morning and roll right through the afternoon and evening, accompanied by heavy winds and possible hail. (And that's Accuweather's forecast.) The storms are expected to bring rainfall totals measuring between 1-2 inches in most parts. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to do some voodoo to keep the rain at bay long enough for the Chicagoist staff to get in a softball game this evening.
