Mostly clear blue skies with temps in mid seventies and some wind from East. Grass is still green; but we have drying conditions and could use a good rainfall. River at Des Plaines is holding at 8.4ft dropping only 7 inches in last 5 days. I believe this indicates we still have lots of water still in the basin. |
