THE NUMBERS ARE IN AND JANUARY ENDED UP BEING A PRETTY MILD MONTH IN ILLINOIS.
LAST MONTH WAS THE 14TH WARMEST JANUARY ON RECORD IN ILLINOIS…WITH THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE COMING IN AT 31 POINT FOUR DEGREES. THAT’S FIVE DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL SAYS STATE CLIMATOLOGIST JIM ANGEL.
ANGEL SAYS PRECIPITATION WAS ABOUT NORMAL…BUT NOT MUCH OF IT WAS SNOW.
ANGEL SAYS THE FORECAST FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS CALLS FOR AN INCREASED CHANCE OF WARMER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
