Three consecutive days of 80s-the longest warm spell in the Chicago area
since last September-come to an end. Northeast winds and noticeably
cooler temperatures greet area residents as Friday gets under way.
A southbound cold front swept in around 8 p.m. Thursday bringing an end
to the warmth that included a second 84-degree high at O'Hare
International Airport and an 85-degree peak reading at Midway Airport
earlier in the day. The influx of cool air saturated the lower
atmosphere with moisture and is behind the cloudiness and sprinkles in
place early Friday.
Not only did temperatures plunge, the frontal passage brought an end to
Chicago's string of three days with 100 percent of the area's possible
sunshine-the longest such spell here since October 29-31.
Big rain tallies in Florida
Since Sunday, 17.21 inches was tallied at Daytona Beach, 13.31 inches
in the Sanford/Orlando area and 24.78 inches in the Ormond Beach area
just north of Daytona Beach.
