So many alarmist stories about rain, so little actual rain. What the heck, Chicagoland meteorologists?
Same deal Friday as Wednesday and Thursday. A good chance of rain. After being burned in the past, here’s our take: be skeptical. But bring rain gear anyway.
WEATHER INFOGRAPHIC:
Such negligible wind in the morning! That’s nice. Here’s the breakdown:
All day: High 59, low 45, cloudy, 50% chance of rain
Morning: low 50s, cloudy, 2 MPH winds from NE
Evening: high 50s, cloudy, wind from the ENE at 8 MPH, 50% chance of rain (dubious)
Recommended Rain Gear of the Week:
Get it? This lady’s not wearing any rain gear. A commentary on our disappointment with recent Chicago weather forecasts.

DIVVY REPORT: Big news.
-Humboldt Drive & Luis Munoz Marin Drive station (inside Humboldt Park) removed entirely. Aw.

Otherwise, all stations operational except Chappel Ave & 79th St., which remains closed.
STREET CLOSURES:
And the 1300-1400 blocks of E. 71st re-open after a monthlong closure.
PARTIAL STREET CLOSURES (downtown):

FYI, just out of view: closures at North Ave. and Bosworth.
OVERALL COMMUTE RATING:
2.75 stars. Pretty good, assuming it doesn’t rain.
Enjoy your rides, and stay dry!
