Today in Lawrence: Self-publishing tips and a 3-D movie
Oven-ready
The heat and wind are staying with us another day. Expect a high of around 94 today with gusty winds and humidity in the 65 to 70 percent range. We won’t catch a break on cooler temps until Thursday, when some rain is forecast. Until then, enjoy the blast-furnace weather.
