A New Weather Record!

Saturday's fall-like temps caused a weather record to be shattered.  Temps throughout most of the day stayed plateaued in the upper 50s to low 60s.
Saturday 7/27 Temps
67° was the coolest daily high temp on any-given July 27th back in 1981.  But, due to ample clouds and a stiff breeze from the north, we only reached 65° on Saturday. This sets a new record for the lowest max temperature at Rockford Airport. 

Record Breaks!
The lowest max temperature record for Sunday 7/28 may be in jeopardy as well. 65° was the coolest high temp set back in 1962.  This Sunday should be slightly warmer than that with conditions warming into the upper 60s, however if we keep the ample cloud cover around the Stateline, we could break that record as well. - MT
