It wouldn't be Lollapalooza weekend without a little bit of rain. Okay: a lot of rain. If you're heading to Grant Park today bring a poncho. The forecast calls for waves of thunderstorms throughout the day before finally clearing out late Friday night and turning cool for the rest of the weekend. Those of you with boats should be aware of the marine weather statement as a result of these storms. The National Weather Service is recommending seeking safe harbor until the storms pass. And you'll have the rest of the weekend to anchor by the lakefront and listen to the music.
