@ai6yr Hope to be soldering out in the garage (finally warm enough), but will keep garage door closed just to be safe. Plus, we had rain last night so it is pretty wet out there right now. Drying rapidly though. #ChicagoWX

David Sheneman on Instagram: "Crazy weather tonight! Fun thing is we hardly got any rain from it and none of the up to egg-sized hail that was predicted. It was mostly up in the clouds and lasted for several hours. #chicagowx #thunderstorm #ilwx #chicago #shotoniphone"

"This is an incredible (and frankly, somber) feat that has only occurred a few times in recorded history with the last time during the historic heat wave of 1995.
All in all, we're experiencing a historic and dangerous heat wave. Continue to check in with loved ones and neighbors and dial 911
if you or someone else is experiencing symptoms of heat related
illness. " #ILwx #ChicagoWx #Chicago https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.php?pil=AFDLOT&e=202308242341
