Many records broken Wednesday

Temperatures Wednesday afternoon soared into the upper 70s/low 80s with full sunshine and strong southerly winds.  Looks like we'll experience a repeat this afternoon, just a little less windy but a little more humid.  Dew points are in the low 60s.  Rockford officially reached 79° breaking the old record of 74° set back in 1995. 

Today could be another record breaking afternoon considering temperatures as of 11am are in the upper 60s/low 70s.  The record high for this afternoon is 73° also set back in 1995.  I'm forecast a high of 75° so it's possible we'll break this one too.   In fact, we're already at 69°.  Here's a list of record highs through the weekend:

Today: 73°  1995
Friday: 75°  1945
Saturday: 74°  2003
Sunday: 73°  1945
