We went from snow flurries to the low 80s in the same week. That warm wet air is also producing a number of storms.

There's an area in Northwestern Illinois along the Mississippi River, a bluff area, that acts as a cold sink. The pockets in the rocks get super chilled and "leak" cold air all summer. The plants found there are the same ones that grow up near the tundra. Near the ground it rarely gets over 50 degrees. If not for the rain melting it, you could probably find snow there next month.
