Heat Safety And Your Car
To contact us Click HERE
As record breaking temperatures continue across the Stateline, it's important to stay safe. One big story you hear about every year is people leaving their children or pets in cars. This is extremely dangerous because a car can heat up incredibly fast, even if it's in the shade and even if it's only "for a minute".
The National Weather Service demonstrates just how hot a car can get, even under less than "hot" conditions. With an outside temperature of 80, a car can easily heat up to around 100 in just 10 minutes.
The situation only gets worse with time. After 30 minutes, the inside temperature of a car soars to around 114.
After an hour, the inside temperature of a car is now into the 120 range. Now just imagine this kind of scenario with air temperatures starting in the triple digits. This is another reminder of how deadly the heat can be if you're not careful.
Stay cool! Stay safe!

2012 vs 2011 Precip
To contact us Click HERE
We have been in a moderate drought for quite some time. Lack of rainfall with this extreme heat means very dry conditions for all of the viewing area. In fact, we have only received 11.04 inches of precipitation thus far, and that is lower than the 16.97 inches we received from January 1, 2011 - July 6, 2011. In 2011, we saw 3.94 inches of rain in May, 3.44 inches of rain in June, and nothing in July. This year, we have only received 1.62 inches of rain in May, 0.66 inches of rain in June, and we have not received anything yet for July. For both 2011 and 2012, we saw about the same amounts of rain for January - April. In other words, we received more than twice the amount of rain last year for May - July than what we currently have for the same time frame this year.

Drought update: Things aren't looking good
To contact us Click HERE
The extreme heat in the Midwest has done nothing for the drought conditions lately. The latest drought monitor was released Thursday morning from the National Drought Mitigation Center and continues to show northern Illinois, and now southern Wisconsin, suffering from moderate drought conditions. No rain has fallen so far this month and with little expected this weekend I'm fearful things will turn much worse.
Since June 1st, the area is 4.60" below where we should be for Meteorological Summer. When looking back to the beginning of the year the area is suffering from almost a seven inch rainfall deficit! While some relief may come this weekend with a weak cool front it doesn't appear to be enough to get us where we should be. If we don't get a decent amount of rain within the next couple of weeks it will have a devestating effect on the crops. Already stress in the corn crop has been experienced while soybean growth has slowed.
One of our weather watchers, Dom Castaldo, took some photos Thursday of the dry conditions near Mt. Morris, IL. Some of the corn crop in that area is really beginning to suffer. He noticed that some of the corn plants are starting to 'fire'. Meaning they are dying from the bottom up! This really isn't good and if we don't receive rain soon crop yields will likely suffer not only in northern Illinois, but for the entire state and even the Midwest.

Storms on the radar...Finally!
To contact us Click HERE
6:25pm Update: Numerous outflow boundaries/cold pools at the surface are evident on radar this evening as thunderstorms developed south of Rockford. There was one cell in northern Ogle county near Byron that did show some mid-level rotation with it earlier but has since collapsed fairly quickly. Still some rain and maybe gusty winds for Rockford. Other storms have developed south in Whiteside and Lee counties and will continue to produce heavy rain, frequent lightning as well as gusty winds.
Finally! Rain - for some! The washed out cold front has passed but there are several surface boundaries across the area. This has allowed slow moving showers/storms to develop this afternoon. Right now looks like areas near Carroll, Ogle and DeKalb counties hold the best chance of experiencing brief, but heavy downpours. While severe weather isn't anticipated the storms may produce a few stronger wind gusts as well as heavy rain and frequent lightning.

The Heat Wave us Over!
To contact us Click HERE
A cool front is sliding slowly southward across northern Illinois this evening ending the heat wave the lasted all last week. A few thunderstorms popped late this afternoon across parts of the Stateline. It appears as if the most generous precipitattion occurred across eastern Carroll county and parts of Ogle county. Again, the Rockford area came up short with about 0.20" on the south side to mostly just trace amounts elsewhere. The serious drought continues across the northern tier of counties across northern Illinois. The corn crop in our area is in serious jeopardy with the leaves doing the pineapple curl every afternoon. A deficit of around 7" has built up since the 1st of June, and with corn beginning to silk out and tassel, now is a very crucial time to get some good rains to ensure the development of kernels on the ears. However, things do not look good for any precipitation for the next 7 to 14 days.
It will be cooler and less humid on Sunday with a high in the middle 80's. Skies will start our partly sunny in the morning, but become mostly sfunny in the afternoon. There will be a refreshing northeasterly breeze of 10 to 15 mph with dew points down in the 50's. All in all.. it will be a very nice day compared to what we are used to recently.
High pressure from Canada will slide slowly southward for most of the coming week. It will remain mostly sunny all week with no preciptiation expected. High temperatures will be in the 80's until next weekend, and lows will be in the 60's.

Massport pumped cash into failing Direct Air

That is title of today's story in the Telegram, click here for link. Do I have a problem with Massport trying to help Direct Air, of course not, but I do find many things troubling.
1) Massport: Interim chief David Mackey was aware of their shaky financial conditions to the extent he says in an -email "there is no question it is operating on shoe string". If you believe this should you not

The Chamber of Commerce plans have three carriers to choose from:
Harvard-Pilgrim offers NO traditional "co-payment" plans, but only high "deductible" plans starting at $1,500 for their traditional larger network and $1,000 for the smaller "Focus" network. Similarily, Fallon has NO "co-payment" plans, and deductible plans start at 1,000 for all three of their networks: Select, Direct and the newly formed Steward.
Why join? There are discounts for these limited plans. How much? You can save 3% on the premium by going through the Chamber of Commerce versus going to the carrier direct. This discount, however, comes with a cost:

Storms earlier this morning in Wisconsin have since dissipated, however, the resulting outflow boundaries (little mini-cool fronts) linger across northern Illinois and just to the south.
With the cloud cover thinning early this afternoon temperatures will once again rise into the mid and upper 90s. With the rising temperatures it's possible a few mid to late afternoon thunderstorms may develop as the atmosphere reaches it's convective temperature and possibly interacts with these lingering boundaries. The convective temperature is the temperature needed to generate thunderstorm development in the absence of a front; such as a warm or cold front. As the air at the surface heats up...it rises. If the air it's rising into is just as warm or warmer thunderstorm development is less likely to occur. However, if the temperature rises enough to reach it's convective temperature those popcorn type storms develop. Right now the convective temperature is in the upper 90s. Currently, warmer air is moving in a few thousand feet above which would cause that number to go a little higher by late this afternoon. I'm still going to keep the isolated storm chance for this afternoon and evening

Staying Safe In The Summer Heat

With the forecast calling for multiple highs in the 100s this week, it's important to know when to take it easy. Heat exhaustion is common during long stretches of hot weather like this and means your body is starting to become dehydrated, but what are the signs the heat is taking a toll on you? Profuse sweating, headache and cramps, not to mention nausea and vomiting are all signs that you're starting to become dehydrated.
So what do you do if you start to show these symptoms? Fortunately, heat exhaustion is pretty easy to deal with. Get inside, especially somewhere air-conditioned, to help cool off. Plenty of fluids is another obvious way to help... just try to stay away from caffeinated and alcoholic beverages. A cool shower or bath can also help. Even if that isn't available, a damp towel can help you cool off.
It's crucial to tackle the problem of heat exhaustion before it becomes something worse, like heat stroke, which is a dangerous medical condition where the body literally starts to overheat. Just remember to take is easy and be safe this week!

Clouds have an impact on the hot temperatures

Warm front once again has shifted north into central Wisconsin. There have been a few mid-level clouds developing along the front this morning and it's possible those will slide south into Illinois later this morning and afternoon. The chance for thunderstorm development remains low, however, if clouds do build afternoon highs may struggle to reach 100° and will likely remain in the 90s.
Looking at the upper level pattern the ridge of high pressure is forecast to build across northern Illinois with warmer air moving in aloft. I think this will help some to keep the cloud cover from getting too thick across the area. Heat index values will once again rise past 100°. Just a few more days of the heat before a break later this weekend.

Uncomfortable heat continues for the next several days as Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories have been issued across the Midwest and Ohio River Valley. Temperatures Tuesday rose to 96° thanks to cloud cover earlier in the day, but sunny skies this morning will help temperatures rise quickly. Heat index values are already nearing 90°!
Temperatures today will rise to 100° which is one degree shy of the record 101° set back in 1911! Triple digit heat will continue Thursday and Friday, with Thursday likely being the hottest day out of the week. We're forecasting high temperatures near 101° for the afternoon and if we do in fact reach that it would break the previous record of 100° set back in 1911.
Even if temperatures today fall short of 100° the heat index values area wide will rise over 100°. Please make sure you take the necessary precautions during this prolonged period of heat. We are now in the fifth day of 90 degree heat, but the third day of triple digit heat indices.

July 4th, 2012 will be remembered as the hottest 4th in Rockford's history. That's because during the afternoon hours the mercury rose to 102 degrees. This breaks the old record of 101° set all the way back in 1911! In fact, looking at other area highs Wednesday afternoon and several locations reached 100 degree heat. More of the same can be expected this afternoon and possibly again Friday.
Excessive Heat Warnings continue for northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin.
