Geos Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I reached 86 for a few minutes on my PWS. Think it's a bit too warm? Looks like area wx stations reporting 83° about. https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/?lat=42.42194366&lon=-87.86777496&zoom=8&pin=Waukegan%20Regional%2c%20IL&rad=1&wxsn=0&svr=0&cams=0&sat=0&riv=0&mm=0&hur=0 Skies are milky looking now. Woke up to the sound of chainsaws this morning. Neighbors are having their dead ash trees cut down. That emerald ash borer has just decimated the Ash trees in the area in the last 2 years.

Hoosier Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Saw a big plume of smoke to the north and was wondering what was going on. Turns out it's a brush fire: http://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/update-brush-fire-causing-traffic-delays-on-cline-avenue/article_7374cc73-fc53-5ab1-a55c-3c85a54d857c.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Made 83 earlier. Enough to cause a little light perspiration during mowing. Not bad at all though. Probably would have been a few degrees warmer if the cirrus canopy didn't COC block our ascension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 73° for a high here today. Pretty over cast now. Pretty soon Illinois Beach State Park will do their annual burn. Those cattails really get going sometimes under the right conditions. It rains ash here when the wind is east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I think it's been discussed before but what's going on there? Honestly, I don't know. I know the sensor has been replaced in recent years, and the sensor location isn't in an abnormal spot. The equipment is up to standards as well. All I know is it is a strange one.
