The raspberries are ripe for picking in Central Illinois. Thanks to Diana D'Asaro who sent along these pictures of an crop for late fall. Diane reports that the raspberries are usually gone by the 4th of July and this late harvest may be the " fruits" of a year where summer really never arrived.

Thanks to Kyle VanderMeer for sharing this shot he took last Saturday over Huntley, Illinois. Kyle and his friend Arnie we flying in a retired US Air Force T34 Beechcraft.  Kyle reported that it was a bit hazy with the ceiling around 2600 feet. The shot was taken just below the clouds at about 2500 feet.

Thanks to Matthew Kulowitch for sharing this great shot of  Saturday's thunderstorms that rumbled much of the day in areas from Iowa across Wisconsin into Lower Michigan, skimming along the Wisconsin- Illinois border. This shot was taken on a flight from Detroit to central Wisconsin at an altitude of about 14,000 feet.

Thank to Jim Miller from west suburban Oswego who was able to capture this excellent lightning shot during last night's thunderstorms. Jim considers it his best-ever lightning photo and we couldn't agree more. l

National Weather Service Coop Observer Fred Demeter sent us these pictures of a violent storm that hit near Stockton in Jo Daviess Couny in far northwest Illinois Friday evening around 6:10 p.m. Hail was up to 2 inches in diameter and dented the top of a trailer and a truck. High winds downed a large willow tree that smashed a fence as it fell.
