Loving that 5 day forecast!

I know it's probably bad karma to do this, but Thank-you Edouard! Yes, you've got a snooty sounding French name, and yes you're posing a threat to the Gulf Coast; but you're also losing speed now that you've hit land and most likely won't be anything more than a tropical storm. 

That said, Edouard, you're doing wonderful things for my walk. Here in Colorado, the temperature dropped like 20 degrees from Sunday to Tuesday. We had record-setting heat all last week: I haven't shut the windows of my apartment for two days! 

And check out this incredible 5-Day forecast. Would anyone have predicted this for Chicago the second weekend in August? It should feel like a sauna, but the National Weather Service (from which I took this forecast) says it will be more like a bathtub instead. Now, if we can just get WGN's Tom Skilling to agree....
