Hot August Start

It is August 1st and we begin the new month with a very hot forecast. Today, high near 93°, Tuesday, high 95° and Wednesday, hot again with a high of 95°. Slight storm chances on Thursday and Friday with highs in the lower to middle 90's. When will we see some relief? Not for a while. Probably October.

Chicago went from one of the driest to one of the wettest July's in history in just a couple of days. Read about that here.
