What a pleasant week in Illinois. Temperatures were about 8 degrees below average and very little rain fell over the last 7 days as of Friday morning, except for a few spots in southwestern Illinois (map below). The NWS forecast show that temperatures will be warming this weekend and next week. There is a chance of rain on Saturday, but Sunday and the rest of next week looks hot and dry.
Hey Jim, will there be any impact to Illinois from Hurricane Erika next week? Maybe we are too far to the east?
