Humidity to Hang Around Thanks to Recent Rains

If you were hoping for a reprieve from the humidity, you're not going to like the message the National Weather Service has today.

 

Chris Miller at the National Weather Service in Lincoln indicates thanks to the abundance of moisture in the ground, Illinois crops are going to have plenty of moisture to draw from and make the air very humid.

 

 

According to Miller, extreme heat is going to stay to the far west, however, he says that doesn't mean things won't be warm here. He indicates forecasts are calling for temperatures in the 80s even 90s most of the month.

 

 

For some, the question is just how far will those rains from the last weekend of June take us in terms of moisture levels. Miller's answer is simple - it should last us a good amount.

 

 

Miller mentioned yesterday on Regional Radio News, we could be in store for more flash flooding this weekend with a storm system weather experts are keeping close tabs on with the potential of an inch-and-a-half to two inches of rain coming in some places this weekend.
