It has been a rather cool start to May along the Stateline, and today was no exception. On a day when our average high is 72, Rockford topped-out at a modest 65 degrees. A chilly, slow-moving area of low pressure moving across Indiana and Ohio today kept us in a northeasterly flow regime. And it was cooler close to Lake Michigan... Chicago's O'Hare Airport only hit 58 degrees for a high with overcast skies and a little bit of light rain.
I was actually on the phone with my parents -- who live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan -- a little while ago. They said it was a beautiful day up there, and that it was probably warmer there (about 290 miles NNE of Rockford) than it was here. Sure enough, I checked the daily climate report from Negaunee, MI and the high there today was 73. High pressure centered over Lake Superior actually gave much of the Upper Great Lakes region a warm day. It was 74 degrees in Duluth, MN, 75 in International Falls, and 78 in Grand Forks, ND today!
