I'll be the first to admit I though there may have been a problem with the temperature system Sunday afternoon when I looked at current temperatures and saw the Chicago/Rockford Int'l Airport reporting a temperature of 98°. Turns out, we did one better reaching a record high of 99° yesterday afternoon! This shattered the old record of 92° previously record in 1978. Not only was this the new record high it was the earliest date in the year on record that the temperature reached 99°. The earliest occurrence of 99° or higher in Rockford was on May 31st 1934 when the temperature reached 106°.
