Your Morning Wake-Up Call for August 2, 2011

By Chuck Sudo in News on Aug 2, 2011 12:30PM

Good Morning, everyone. We're two days into August and we're still under an air quality alert from the Illinois EPA. As for the weather, "Stifling" can be one word for it. "Typical for August" is another. Expect a high in the mid-90s with head indexes in parts again over 100. Any breaks in the weather won;t be coming until late this afternoon and this evening when the thunderstorms are supposed to roll in and rolling in hard.
