Large portions of the Midwest including Will County have been experiencing severely milder temperatures compared to weeks prior and it's getting many excited for the upcoming fall season.


CNN Meteorologist, Jennifer Gray says, “By the way, the fall equinox is on September 22 (even though meteorological fall began on September 1), and we all know it means nothing when it comes to Mother Nature, so if you are one of the lucky ones experiencing this false fall, ENJOY!” It may technically still be summer, but the recent temperatures do not reflect the notion of summer. This is due to the showers along the front. According to an article by erienewsnow.com, Rockford, Illinois recorded 4.34 inches of rain on Sunday. This rainfall also affected surrounding counties such as Will County. Residents of Will County can thank these showers while reaching for their jacket as temperatures are hitting 50s and 60s. June, July, and August 2022 brought on sizzling heat and left Will County in need of some cooler temperatures so these numbers are a pleasant surprise for many. 


Gray says, “The tiny cool blast will only be for portions of the country. And as much as my heart wants to tell you its here to stay, it wont. Sadly, it's going to be such a quick shot of amazing air, if we blink, we might miss it.” According to weather.com, the high for Joliet on September 13th is 76 degrees whereas the high for September 19th will be 88 degrees. It's obvious by this over 10 degree jump that summer is not over yet.


Take advantage of the next few days because warm weather will be back relatively soon. Maybe pull out the layers and give people a preview of your fall fashion!

Wisconsin High School Sports Face An Uncertain Winter Season

By Sarah Vandermolen photo courtesy of nytimes.com Although most Wisconsin high schools decided to compete in fall sports this year, it seems some schools will not have the same luck for the winter sport season. Unlike other states, Wisconsin does not have a statewide mandate in regards to high school sports. For this reason, the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) has left school districts to decide whether they will be participating in winter sports.  Due to the increase of COVID-19 cases, many high schools in Wisconsin have decided to suspend their winter sport season, while others are charging forward with competitions. However, even if schools decide to hold their winter season, not all high schools will begin on time.  According to rivertowns.net , "Locally, River Falls and New Richmond have suspended all athletics and activities through Dec. 7, while Hudson, St. Croix Central and Somerset are beginning as planned."  St. Croix Central athletic dire...
