Don't see any MAJOR heat the first half of the month. By then the clock is ticking, summer goes quicker than we realize.

The fact that you're getting any stratus is pretty huge! Feels like you're usually one of the sunnier areas on these days.

A few more tornadoes were confirmed in IN from Fri-Sat, so just padding the new record at this point, which is up to 76. A year to remember for IL and IN. Despite bordering each other, it is not always the case that both states are so active in the same year. In 2006 for example, IL had 123 tornadoes and IN only had 25. And in 2003, IL had 120 and IN again only had 25.

This checks out. Next 7 days at SLE 70 71 75 80 84 84 84 Drakes Crossing 59 61 64 70 73 73 72

Sub 70 streak is at 1 day here. Might stretch it to 2 but the stratus is looking pretty thin.
