4/3/12

Last night's weather was quite wild with thunderstorms starting at around 1AM. The storms had a lot of lightning, wind and rain. The total rainfall from this storm was around 1.2 inches as of 8AM this morning. The storms were a result from a low pressure system funneling moisture in from the south. Now the system is sitting to our south east and providing the Chicago area with precipitation.Today's forecast calls for winds from the NNE at 12mph and the relative humidity is around 92% with a current temperature of 44 degrees. The Dew point is around 42 degrees which is creating the high relative humidity value. There is a line of stratus clouds that should be passing through the area later today which will bringing with it clear skies and a high of 63 degrees today. This will also provide a chilly low temperature of 33 degrees tonight.
