@Hoosier HIII will you please tell me the HRRR is wrong and we both don’t get that 25 mile wide dry slot I swear I’m going to be so bummed if we get nothing out of this, the models had Chicago as THE SPOT. I’m sick of storm chasers being popular now, I’d just drive to Rockford normally but they’re psychotic nowadays and they’re gunna be everywhere so it kinda ruins it. I really hope the RRFS is right

40 and Cloudy. chilly morning. Probably more showers later

There's "drought" and then there's drought. Water year is looking pretty healthy now for your area.

I saw that and I think they'll expand the enhanced risk further north.

Yes, very much needed. For all the rain I've had this spring, we're still in a drought.
