[8:31 AM CDT 7/16/2025] That extremely muggy/sticky feeling when you step outside this AM is the dew points, ranging from 70-79°, placing us firmly in the very humid & uncomfortable to oppressive range for how the air mass feels. #ILwx #INwx (1/2)
Ever meet someone who just makes you feel like there IS so much RIGHT in the world? Meet Kellie O’Brien. abc7chicago.com/post/recycled-… #Massai #bottles2bricks
I remember 1988 very well. Was my first TV Meteorologist job in Wheeling, WV. It was such a widespread drought
88 was also a bad one, drought kept the Heat Index in check. Not so pleasant driving a company car w/o AC that summer. 95 was commuting downtown. Nothing like working up a sweat walking from the train. Have this one from the mid-late 90's. An adventure working failure events.
One year ago today, a powerful derecho impacted the region, producing widespread damaging winds & a record-breaking number of tornadoes in both the state of Illinois (48) as well as the 23 counties that our office serves (32). More info here: weather.gov/lot/2024_07_15…. #ILwx #INwx
30 years ago…. Heat Wave of 1995. No Joke. It was an absolutely horrifying summer in #Chicago weather.gov/lot/1995_HeatW…
