Stormy Monday?

We desperately need some rain here in Chicago. Every day it's muggy, the weather report threatens 40% chance of rain and then it doesn't rain. The grass in all the parks and at the lakefront is brown, which I've never seen (before November) in 15 years in Chicago. It looks like LA in August. Brown, brown, brown. The view from my office looks promising, with big gray clouds, but the last few times it looked like this the sky transformed to blue only minutes later. Perhaps if I leave my umbrella behind while going to swim at lunch I can coax the rain.

Update: Yup, I left the gym and the sky was blue again. Cloud tease.
