Bathing Suits for Everyone! It’s Gonna be Like 1,000 Degrees in Rockford This Weekend
Hope your dad likes a heat wave!
And I hope you have air conditioning, because the last time it was 90 in Rockford I didn't and I think I just recovered.
This weekend, which just happens to be Father's Day, is going to be H O T in Rockford and the surrounding areas.
Kind of ironic that Nelly will be singing 'Hot in Herre' Friday night at OSD to kick off the scorching weekend.
I mean I'm all for 80s and sunshine on the weekend, but highs in the mid-90s on Sunday? Father's Day will probably be indoors unless you own seven sprinklers and a pool.
As former WREX Meteorologist, now a WGN-TV member, Morgan Kolkmeyer says, 'Forecast: Sweat.'
