Yesterday, we reached 93 for a record high, and we also saw very strong winds. Due to how dry our area is, these winds picked up a lot of dust and restricted visibilities on the roads. Accidents occurred because of these issues. As seen on the figure to the left, there were numerous wind reports from yesterday. Rockford reported a peak wind gust of 49 mph, while Freeport saw a peak gust of 48 mph. Fortunately, today is going to be much calmer. For more information, please visit
