There have been many times this year where northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin have approached the 90° mark. But alas, we've fallen short by a degree or two. In fact, you would have to go all the way back to August 28th, a span of 284 days, to find our last 90° day. The potential for us to break this streak begins on Friday, and carries on into the upcoming weekend. That begin said, all signs point to a gradual increase in humidity by the day, eventually becoming more uncomfortable by early next week. But what I see is plenty of opportunities for all of you to jump into those fresh-opened pools. If you are someone who doesn't have a pool, become close friends with someone that does. Or simply pull out the old-school move and connect a sprinkler. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday feature a good amount of sunshine, with rain chances holding off until early next week. But even then we aren't looking at any soaking rain chances.
