I mean a Bloody Mary has tomato juice But tomatoes and basil never fail…
Tonight’s Sunday craft cocktail: the tomato martini. 2 oz. gin 1 oz. dry vermouth 1/2 cup sweet cherry tomatoes, muddled 3 basil leaves, muddled 1/4 oz. simple syrup Pinch of salt Cheers!
Once our heat breaks later Thursday, the replacement threat will be heavy rains Air this drenched with humidity has to do something with that moisture when a slightly cooler, slightly drier air mass takes its place. Usually that's rain, and summer systems are sluggish and like…
Measle-ey little showers popped up and might not even be sending rain all the way to the ground over the west burbs of #Chicago Over southern Wisconsin a large cluster of storms there, moving away from IL A chance that may shoot a rain cooled pocket out our way along lakefront
An active search is underway after a 14-year-old boy went missing while swimming in Lake Michigan at Illinois Beach State Park near Zion Tuesday afternoon. The Beach Park Fire Department and Lake County Sheriff’s Office responded around… lakemchenryscanner.com/2025/07/22/act… via @LMCScanner
Great tip here folks. Good time to check your filters in your cooling system be a window A/C unit or central air And if your have central air make sure your compressor outside is clear of leaves and any other detritus that could block its cooling efficiency If your have central…
Already cleaned the A/C air filters. Number one compressor killer is dirty filters during a heat wave.
Another Swamp Ass Watch If you’re in the smoky red color, get ready to sweat Wednesday and Thursday will have a nasty summer combo of well above normal heat and humidity. Not long lasting but intense while it is here. Some rains later Thursday will bring it back to within…
Wow…

#ChicagoScanner #Chicago Marine distress 5400 S Lake Shore Drive Reports of a person drowning
Most everyone north of I-290/I-88 done with rain. A dying sprinkle may tickle a spot but nothing that will dampen your spirits or outdoor plan That should be it for rain for a bit. Next up is real sweaty summertime heat starts Tuesday, peaks Weds/Thurs, 90s actual, index 100s
By abt 10-10:30AM most everywhere north of I-90 should be clear of the rain chances, and the rest of the area south of that will see a gradual southward shin in the north edge of the rain blob Clouds hang in til late afternoon when some breaks should work thru for some sun peeks
Heavy rain producing showers and storms are expected today into tonight, with the highest coverage of storms expected to be primarily south of I-80. Attention then turns to the dangerous heat and humidity that is expected Wednesday and Thursday. #ILwx #INwx
Lightning all now out over Lake Michigan and last of rain about to exit from along the Lake/Cook county line That should do it for the rest of today for at least the northern metro if not the entire #Chicago area Small chance as cold front crosses overnight of a shower of storm…
Front is well to the north still and some breaks in the clouds to our northwest so a chance we may see some sun today which could kick temps near or just over 80° late afternoon Front due to pass overnight near midnight-ish, may bring a shower or weak storm with it
