Missed it by That Much

Well, we didn't hit 100 degrees yesterday (it only got up to 98 in Springfield). Not that I want it to be this hot but if it has to be, let's go for a something-to-talk-about 100+ degrees. It's been over 10 years since the city last saw 100 (July 14, 1995). With other places nearby hitting the century mark yesterday (Lincoln and Peoria, for example) it certainly could have happened and still could today with the forecast high predicted to be 99 degrees.

Meanwhile, the drought marches on, especially just to out north:

But..rain is predicted for tomorrow.

Depends upon where you were at.
If you were out on the asphalt - at Gus Macker this weekend you can bet your bottom dollar that it was well over 100 degrees!

Could have cooked a fish out there dude.
