Temperatures here in Urbana, IL have been weird the last few days. The
forecast low on Monday was 8 but it went down to -1. Yesterday it got down
to 10 right around sunset but then started warming throughout the night and
was 25 degrees at sunrise. It got up to 28 today but temperatures started
dropping sharply around sunset. It's now 9 with a forecast low of -3. No
snow though; that's supposed to come Friday and Saturday.
At least the LF bands are quiet.
