CHICAGO - I had a couple of sprinkles in the driveway when I left for work this morning. While there can be an isolated shower today most of Chicagoland will remain dry and nobody is getting much rainfall at all. Fox 32 Meteorologist Mike Caplan has the forecast. What to expect: Instead, expect a day that will feature more cloudiness than yesterday. That will hold temperatures down just a little bit.
