Today's obscure movie: Dirty Gertie from Harlem USA. 1946 race movie based on Maugham's Rain. Cheap and weakly written but with some good performances. Francine Everett, below, is Gertie.

Today's obscure movie: Gasoline Alley (1951) based on the long-and-still running comic strip. The very cute Scotty Beckett, as Corky, makes this otherwise drab sit-comish B-film worth watching

How accurate is the weather forecast in your city?
Niko Kommenda and I learned that NWS just began doing gridded assessments of forecast accuracy. We got the data and mapped of how many days into the future they get within 3°F of the observed high temp.
