If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute

While lacking the more drastic swings that can happen in the Midwest, today was a day that had umbrellas up one moment and jackets shedding the next, as the sun and rain clouds played “tag, you’re it” all day. The showers were also highly localized – a real downpour in one small section with dry streets just a couple of blocks away.
