73F with partly cloudy skies at 1:45AM. Going up to 86F with partly sunny skies today. Not too bad.

It has cooled somewhat, but the weather is still variable. Right now, the temperature is 57F/13.9C, and the skies are partly cloudy, with no rain expected today. Tomorrow, maybe. High temperature is expected to be 77F/25C.

70F at 1:45 with mostly clear skies. Thunderstorms expected today, though, with a high near 81F. We can use the rain but would rather have an all-day gentle rain that'd soak into the ground. Who knows … maybe. :)

No thunderstorms yesterday although the clouds sometimes threatened rain. Today now, 72F and clear at 12:15AM going up to 84F with partly sunny skies. We could, of course, still use a little rain but preferably light rain extending over a whole day. Something that could soak in. :)

72F with clear skies at 12:20PM going up to 84F with partly sunny skies. We got some morning rain yesterday but then it cleared off and turned warm and humid. :(

67F with cloudy skies now (12:30AM) with a 50% chance of rain until about 10AM when it starts to drop down to around 20% by 1PM. High today will be 79F with cloudy skies continuing. :shrug:

93deg. today with a heat index of 104 no rain in site

71F at 11PM on the 11th with mostly clear skies going up to 83F on the 12th with the chance of rain or thunderstorms going up to 50 or 60% by the afternoon. Better finish my mowing this morning I guess.

Here it is nearing 12:15AM and it's still 72F with clear skies. It'll head up to 81F later today with sunny skies. With all the rain we've received the past several days, I suspect the humidity is going to make it feel worse than the temps would suggest. Oh well, it's Illinois in the summer. :(

77F with clear skies at 1AM … and 92% humidity :faint:. Going up to 91F today with sunny skies. Gonna be a warm one I'm afraid. :(

Two more days of dreadful heat and humidity … 78F now (1AM) shooting up to 91F with sunny skies. Humidity at 86%. Tues will be about the same (high 87) then, six days of rain … three with thunderstorms and three with showers but the highs will drop in the low 80s (one day in the upper 70s).

Clear skies and 80F greet me at this late hour (11:30PM) while Tuesday will head up to 82F thunderstorms possible. Following six days will be in the seventies but with thunderstorms for three and light rain for the rest. Don't mind the light rain (a chance to soak in, but could do without the thuderstorms). :shrug:

Hot hot hot lately. It's already hit the predicted high of 89F/31.7C. Partly cloudy, but only a 20% chance of rain. Moderate relative humidity of 61%.

Maybe rain tomorrow.

It's 72F with partly cloudy skies now (12:45AM) and … only getting up to 79F today. Refreshing drop from the 90s we've had. Bad news is 92% humidity now and a 60-80% chance of thunderstorms from now until this evening although the weather maps show the "rain" as being at least a few hours away. Hope so.

75F and partly cloudy with humidity at 84% (10:15PM). Friday will get up to 95F with sunny skies locally. Whew! That's hot. We're heading to Indianapolis fairly early where we'll be until Sunday. Our sons will be minding the home front while we're gone.

Not sure that I'll be taking my laptop so I may not be posting again until Sunday night or Monday morning. Anyway, have a great weekend, everyone, and KEEP COOL if you can!

72F and mostly cloudy with humidity at 94%. Friday will see a bit of a reprieve climbing to only 81F with sunny skies.

61F with clear skies at 2:25AM climbing to 87F and sunny skies later today. Too bad it's starting to climb back up. The past few days have been wonderful with the warm but cooler temps.
