It wasn't a long heat wave, but it sure was fierce. Temperatures Friday and Saturday afternoon warmed into the mid and upper 90s with the heat index surpassing 110 degrees both days! While no record high temperatures were achieved, we did tie the all-time record daily minimum temperature for July 19th (last Friday) when the low only fell to 80 degrees! The previous record was set back on August 6th, 1918 - records for Rockford go back to 1905!
Temperatures took quite a dip from the weekend Monday with highs only reaching the middle to upper 70s, officially reaching 79 degrees in Rockford. Skies will turn mostly clear overnight with low temperatures falling back into the upper 50s, much more comfortable than this past weekend.
Each day temperatures will gradually climb until we reach the upper 80s and low 90s by this upcoming weekend.
