Weather Blog: Weekend Outlook
Tomorrow will be a FANTASTIC Friday.
After a system has pushed through Thursday, high pressure will fill in, clearing the skies for a bright and sunny day across Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley.
Morning lows will be in the mid-50s, and high temperatures will reach around the mid-to-upper 70s. Winds will be out of the North to Northwest throughout the day at 5-10 mph with gusts up to 15 mph.
Skies will start off with plenty of sun, but by the afternoon, high clouds will roll in, accompanied by some low and mid-level clouds that will increase in the evening.
Overnight Saturday into Sunday, a few showers and storms are expected at times from 10 pm until 5 am Sunday. There is no severe weather threat at this time.
Temperatures in the morning will hover in the mid-to-upper 50s, with high temperatures between 71-76°. Winds will likely be out of the West to Northwest around 5-10 mph.
The radar should be quiet by sunrise, however, there will be mostly cloudy skies in the morning, turning into partly cloudy by midday.
Because of all the cloud cover from overnight, morning lows will be in the low-to-mid 60s. Enough sunshine should warm us up into the mid-80s across the region. Winds will be light and variable.

A 20-degree drop in temperatures? We'll take it. The fall-like weather continues into Tuesday.
Another September-like day is on tap with a mix of sun and clouds and highs reaching the mid-70s across Greater Boston. Morning commuting temperatures will range from the upper 50s to the low 60s, so you may want to start the day with a light jacket or sweater. The entire region will stay dry before a couple of showers push into Vermont after most of us call it a night. Advertisement Lows will slip into the 50s under partly cloudy skies across Greater Boston and much of Southern New England. The setup — staying cool and sunny The cool stretch and low dew points continue on Tuesday across Boston and really region-wide. It'll be slightly warmer than Monday, but still running below average. High pressure remains in control, but with a few more clouds floating about the region. Boston should see some high clouds with long stretches of sun, especially during the afternoon. It won't be until late in the evening when a few scattered light showers work into parts of Vermont as a sliver of energy nears. Showers should dissolve as they approach the coast overnight. A mix of clouds and sun is expected across the region on Tuesday with showers entering the picture late. Boston Globe A slight onshore breeze will keep the North and South Shores, including Boston, a couple of degrees cooler than areas like Newton, Saugus, Bridgewater, and areas west. Advertisement Highs across New England will reach the 70s on Tuesday afternoon. Boston Globe Speaking of the breeze, it won't be much to complain about, but you'll notice the wind if you're walking the streets of Boston or along the coast. Wind speeds may near 10 miles per hour with a few gusts to about 15 miles per hour. A light onshore breeze will reach 10 miles per hour along the coast on Tuesday. Boston Globe The comfortable air won't be going anywhere anytime soon, as forecast dew points will stay in the upper 40s on Tuesday and rise to the 50s for the rest of the work week. Dry air will remain largely in place this week across Greater Boston, keeping dew points below 60 degrees. Boston Globe Hurricane Erin: High surf advisory issued If you're keeping tabs on Hurricane Erin, New England is starting to feel the impacts from the storm, although the Category 4 hurricane will remain hundreds of miles away from the coast. The storm will generate massive waves out to sea, with enough energy traveling to our coastal waters and bringing choppy conditions for folks with boats. It'll be more breezy the farther out to sea you go, with waves between 5 and 10 feet. Small craft advisories are in place across Southern New England coastal waters with gusty winds offshore and five to 10 feet waves. Boston Globe Hurricane Erin turns north while still maintaining Category 4 wind speeds. Boston Globe Next chance for rain arrives Wednesday The next chance for rain in Boston arrives on Wednesday, when scattered, light showers are possible in the evening. Showers will likely be more scattered as dry air eats away at any moisture as a warm front nears the region from the south. Showers will push into Southern New England on Wednesday with a warm front passing to the south. Boston Globe Tuesday's breakdown Greater Boston: Partly sunny with highs reaching the mid-70s. A light breeze to about 10 mph. North and South Shores are in the low 70s. Advertisement Southeastern Mass.: Mix of sun and clouds with highs in the low to mid-70s. Breeze to about 10 mph. Central/Western Mass.: Partly sunny skies with highs in the mid- to upper 70s from Worcester to Springfield, low 70s in the Berkshires.

When the ‘fun' in ‘funemployment' fades away, the mental gymnastics kick in
I still wake up at 7:15 a.m. Not because I have a meeting. Or a commute. Or a list of deliverables that's longer than a CVS receipt. I'm up early because something about lying in bed while my corporate counterparts clock in makes me feel like I'm behind, even if there's no race I'm actively running. The day kicks off with the usual: matcha, oatmeal, a spin on the Peloton, and a shower. But then? Stillness. No Slack pings. No check-ins. No one asking for a 'quick sync' to 'circle back' so we can get our 'ducks in a row.' Just me, refreshing LinkedIn, wondering if today is the day a recruiter cannonballs into my DMs like Ron Burgundy. I launched this column five years ago as a mid-level marketing manager in Seattle—corporate's middle child, navigating microaggressions, vague feedback, and vibes that often felt . . . off. I wrote about working through a pandemic, watching my well-meaning white colleagues bumble through a so-called racial reckoning, and climbing org chart rungs while staying woke to the wonkiness of upper management. Back then, I wrote as The Only Black Guy in the Office. Now? I'm still him, but there's no office at all—unless you count the one in my spare bedroom. For the first time in a long time, I'm unemployed. There, I said it. I used to pray for times like this, imagining being unshackled from the chains of recurring standups, performance reviews, and a 27-tab document named 'Final_FINAL_V3_(1).' I'd see myself rewatching The Boondocks episodes on a random Tuesday afternoon, hitting up local museums during off-peak hours, day drinking with a pinky pointed toward the clouds. But since those first couple of weeks post-layoff, the 'fun' in 'funemployment' has hopped on a paper plane and gone MIA. I'm over the midday mimosas and matinees, especially now that I'm fresh out of severance dollars to spend and Severance episodes to binge. My savings and sense of purpose are each trending downward, dawg, without a namaste in sight. There's an odd grief that hits the moment your work account passwords go inactive. It's the coldest closure, like an ex changing the locks while you're still packing your things. Except here, your belongings are stored in a shared Google Drive and a Slack archive you'll never access again. I once thought I couldn't feel any more like an outsider. I was wrong. But that wasn't the only wake-up call. Things done changed for this era of job hunters. I'm learning the futility of cold applying, the scams targeting desperate job seekers, the absurdity of stuffing resumes with keywords to appease the bots. Even when I make it past the algorithm bouncers and land in front of an actual human, I wonder if the HBCU degree I worked so hard for is a reveal that invites bias before I've said a word. The hardest part of this all? It's not my obsessive clocking of banking apps and job boards, nor the dystopian friend-or-foe role of artificial intelligence in the application process. It's the identity shift with which I've only recently come to terms. When you've spent your entire career outworking self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism, being unemployed feels like failure, even when it's not. Doesn't matter if it's due to a layoff, a budget cut, or a 'strategic realignment.' For years, my job was more than a source of income and fodder for my therapist. It was where I could be a rockstar in one conference room and a firefighter in the next. A place I could lift up others who looked like me and, when necessary, check those who didn't. If I'm keeping it a bean, it was validation. Now, with no decks to compile or KPIs to hit, I've had to sit in that stillness. I've had to create the structure in my days that I once dreaded. I've had to convince myself that the 'you're too talented to be in the market for long!' sentiments shared by friends and peers are sincere. This column has always been a pressure release valve—a space to process what it means to be Black and corporate and exhausted. I didn't realize how much I'd need that outlet again. Maybe even more now than before. So I'm brushing off the cobwebs and writing again. To make sense of this moment. To connect with folks who are navigating the same in-between. And to remind myself, and maybe you too, that being without a job doesn't mean being without value.

Today in Chicago History: The White Sox wear shorts on ‘the coolest day of the summer'
Here's a look back at what happened in the Chicago area on Aug. 8, according to the Tribune's archives. Is an important event missing from this date? Email us. Vintage Chicago Tribune: The paper's role in the demise of Richard Nixon's presidency after WatergateWeather records (from the National Weather Service, Chicago) 1931: Several hundred performers — including Goliath the sea elephant — arrived to perform as part of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, which became a fixture of summer in Soldier Field's parking lot for decades. 1940: 'Blond Tigress' Eleanor Jarman escaped from the women's reformatory in Dwight. The mother of two boys had been serving 199 years as an accomplice to a murder her lover committed in Chicago. Vintage Chicago Tribune: Jailbreak!!!Jarman's family in Sioux City, Iowa, planned to use a bomb shelter to hide her, but she remained on the lam. Only once was she positively seen again — in a then-secret 1975 reunion with a handful of relatives. 1958: O'Hare became an international airport. When a TWA flight landed from Paris, its passengers were the first to be processed inside a customs depot that included immigration, public health and agricultural inspectors — services that weren't previously available at the facility. 1974: Almost 7.5 million tickets were sold for the first Illinois State Lottery drawings, which took place starting at 10:30 a.m. on a stage at the edge of the racetrack at the Illinois State Fairgrounds. About 500 people, 'sweating under the August sun,' assembled to watch the event. (It was not front page news, however, due to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.) Vintage Chicago Tribune: Illinois Lottery's first drawing took place 50 years agoLotto's winning numbers were 15-12-16-18-04. The weekly Bonanza and Millionaire numbers were 697-192-352. The biggest winner present was a 28-year-old electrician who had just finished wiring the stage. An estimated 35,000 people around the state won prizes of $20, $100 or $5,000. Laws at the time prevented the lottery's winning numbers from being broadcast live over radio and television. The Tribune began publishing the results following that first drawing — though no one in the newsroom was allowed to give the numbers over the telephone due to the laws. 1976: The Chicago White Sox wore shorts in the first game of a doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals, but refused to wear them for the nightcap. The Sox also donned pajama-style jerseys in 1976, and wore them through 1981. The shorts, however, were short-lived. The players wore them in just three games that season including an Aug. 21-22, 1976, series against the Baltimore Orioles. Vintage Chicago Tribune: The White Sox's wild ride into the team's 125th season'It's almost inconceivable that men dressed like little boys could give up 16 hits in six innings, trail the Samson-like Baltimore Orioles by six runs, yet still beat them in 12 innings, 11-10,' former Tribune baseball writer Richard Dozer wrote. 1977: 'Mr. Cub' Ernie Banks was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Vintage Chicago Tribune: How Wrigley Field got lights and why Cubs fans had to wait past 8-8-88 to raise 'W' flag1988: The first night game at Wrigley Field was scheduled. Rain, however, ended it after 3½ innings, barring it from being recognized as official. 2004: A tour bus for the Dave Matthews Band passing over the Chicago River unleashed a torrent of foul-smelling waste onto a tour boat below.
