Wild temperature changes in Ilinois

 We have spent the last few days outside, including today. We knew the weather was making a drastic change. It was 90° at 5:00. The wind and cold came in like a rocket, within 30 minutes Temps went from 85° to 64°. The wind is averaging 24 mph, gusts are around 30+mph now! Glad we enjoyed the hot days, going to be cool again for a while...
