Had a nice little period of 40 mph gusts with the gust front a short while ago. That knocked the temp back a good 20 degrees. Now the heavy rain is moving in, and thunder is getting louder.
Yeah there's definitely a steep gradient from northeast IL to the QC. We're only about 25 miles northeast of MLI and have 16 90+ days.
Nice soaker today between the two main rounds. Ended up with 1.77", up to 3.21" for July.
Got drenched walking through the parking lot at work. Probably got a good inch there as it dumped for quite a bit.
Picked up 0.22" here from anvil rain. Up to 1.81" since a week ago.
94 at MLI today, 90 here.
After mid 90s tomorrow and Wed gonna get a nice long break from the heat from Thu onward. Not gonna be quite as frosty as it has been at ALEK's though lol
