A couple of weeks back I wondered here how a couple hundred miles could make such a difference. Raining in Missouri while it was dry in Oklahoma.
Now, I could ask that same question about thirty miles. We've had a couple of sprinkles here in Carol Stream while in De Kalb it's been pouring for the last several hours. They've got five inches of rain from a relatively stationary storm. Seriously, De Kalb is only about thirty or forty miles West of here.
Right now: 56 F, cloudy. Rainy weather promised through the weekend. I hope the storms don't just sit over us the way they have over De Kalb.
