Thursday marked the 4th day in a row that Rockford reached a high of 91°! During that time, peak heat indices ranged from 100-105°. The last time we saw such a streak of heat was nearly this exact time last year! Typically, average highs are around the mid-80s, so we were 7-8° above average each day!
The next few days will feature a subtle decrease in humidity and heat, but it will still feel like summer over the holiday weekend. High temperatures will likely push close to 90 again Friday, upper 80s Saturday, then low 80s Sunday. Each day will feature at least some isolated to scattered thunderstorm potential, so keep tuned to the radar if you're going to be outdoors for any of the holiday festivities!
