CHICAGO - Today will make it 20 days in a row of above-normal temperatures in Chicago and there is no end in sight.

What we know:

There is also no sign of any rainfall whatsoever for at least another week. September is about to go down as the 7th-driest on record in Chicago and drought by conditions are going to worsen considerably this week.

Highs today will likely soar into the mid and upper 80s. The record for the date is a remarkable 99 degrees and will not be threatened. Highs every day through the weekend will be between 80° and 86° away from any lakeside cooling.

Chicago has already tied for the most 80° days between September 15-30 (10) and will take sole possession of that distinction today.
