Illinois, It's Going To Feel More Like Summer In February

By no means am I complaining about how we're going to get summer-like conditions to wrap up our February. We'll see well-above-normal temperatures in Illinois, Iowa, and the rest of the Midwest region as we start to get into spring.

If you haven't started wearing shorts or t-shirts right out of the house when you go to work yet, you'll be able to very soon. Sure, it won't stick around but let's enjoy it while we can.

It's Going To Heat Up Big Time

I'm not sure if that little groundhog has superpowers or what, but it's exciting that we'll be in the 70s at the end of February.

NOAA and the National Weather Service have been saying that we should expect above-normal temperatures even into early March. The 6-10-day temperature outlook has Illinois and Iowa completely covered in dark red. Normally that's not a good thing, but this time, it is.

Tuesday, February 27th looks like it will be the warmest day. We'll see highs in the low 70s, according to both KWQC and the NWS. Expect early morning showers on Tuesday with a high of 72° (TV6 had the higher number so we're going with them).

Will We Set A Record?

We possibly could set the record for the warmest Feb. 27th on record and the warmest February day on record. If we get to 72° or above, we'll set that daily record. If we get to 75° or above, we'll have the warmest February day on record.

If we do reach the high of 72° on Tuesday, that will be 44.3° above normal. See what our forecast is calling for through Wednesday, Feb. 28, according to the NWS:

You Could Own The Greatest House In The State Of Wisconsin

There's a home in Wisconsin that everyone in the state would call the best house on the market. The house is reasonably priced for the amount of money you could get out of it. Why does this house sound like a gold mine? Because it sits and looks directly at the heart of Title Town U.S.A., the legendary Lambeau Field, the home of the Green Bay Packers.
