With high pressure anchored over the east coast and low pressure stalled in the central and northern plains, Chicago continues to be situated in the "land between"...- southerly winds - sunny skies and daytime high temperatures in the lower 80s with nighttime lows under clear skies in the 50s to lower 60s. With 100 percent sunshine today, it marks the 7th straight such day this month - tying the old record set back in October 10-16, 1934. A new October record could be set, if tomorrow, as forecast, turns out to be another day with 100 percent sunshine.
According to Chicago's veteran weather observer, Frank Wachowski, Chicago's all-time record for consecutive days with 100 percent sunshine is 10 - set back on July 21-30, 1916.
