Good morning and happy Sunday!! I am so so sorry for disappearing for over a week, but thankfully the weather has been quite tranquil while I was gone! 

In fact, it has been quite HOT this last week. This is one of the longest, latest “Indian Summer”s I can remember (though I have “only” lived in Chicago for 9 years). Yesterday’s high temperature of 88F was just 2 degrees shy of the all-time record for the date. 

Today will be nearly as warm, with high temps once again skyrocketing into the mid to upper 80s under mostly sunny skies. Temps will remain elevated tonight, barely dipping below 70F (making it feel more like July!) and tomorrow will be warm once again.

HOWEVER, BIG changes are on the horizon! A powerful cold front looks poised to blast through the area on Monday evening, bringing showers, possibly a thunderstorm, and, most importantly - appropriately cool temps. Highs on Tuesday and Wednesday will be in the 60s. 

Tl;dr - HOT again today - high of 86F. Hot tomorrow, but cold front bringing rain on Mon night and cool temps thru rest of week.
