Warm Weather Setting More Records

Current streak is ongoing. Info as of 7/27/12

It's no surprise that this summer's heat has been unusual. Here's another example. Rockford is experiencing one of the longest streaks of 80 degree days on record. As of Friday, we are at 44 straight days of highs at or above 80 degrees.

Look for us to keep moving up that list over the course of the next week. The current forecast shows a nice weekend with highs back into the 90s starting Monday.

While the all-time record might be tough to break (We would have to stay in the 80s through Sept. 8th), we could easily move into second place if warm temps hold through the next two weeks.
