Anyone wanna bet it's going to 'rock 'n roll', weatherwise, later this afternoon? :scared:

2. I think we could get a LOT of rain later in Chicago today.

The temp flucuations here in the past few days has been weird.

4. It's moving your way, Terry.

It's moving SSW to NNE, and it rained like a big cow pissing on a flat rocvk here about 9:00 a.m.--- 1.1 inches in just under 40 minutes. Put your rubbers on. :P

6. I've got the umbrella at work, Paddy. Thanks for the warning.

9. You must not get a lot of weather variability there.

When I lived in the SF Bay area, it would be over 100 degrees in the Valley, then we'd drive through the tunnel into Oakland and it would be in the 60s -- in less than a mile. And SF itself is known for its microclimates.

But if you want weather rock & roll, the midwest is the place: it can drop from 100 degrees to 50 degrees in an hour -- with the accompanying thunderstorms, derechos, and tornado warnings.
