High Temperatures Reach the Low 90's Wednesday

Highs Wednesday warmed into the low 90's with the heat index reaching the mid to upper 90's, even low 100's.  The official high in Rockford reached 91 degrees, just one degree off from the record high of 92 degrees set back in 1920.

The last time the temperature reached 90 degrees, or above, was back on August 16th when the high was 91 degrees.  High temperatures through the weekend will continue to reach 90 degrees as an unseasonably hot air mass remains in the Midwest.

Dew point temperatures will also remain high with readings in the mid and upper 60's.  This will push the heat index into the mid and upper 90's through the weekend.
