Default Bloomington Gold ... 90+ Degree Forecast

Local weather forecast looks great so far for Bloomington Gold. 90+ degrees and sun. They are calling for some rain possibly on Sunday. This weather forecast is provided by Tom Skilling (his bro' went down for Enron). Tom is usually accurate in his predictions.

When you are in town you may wanna check out Fox Valley Motors - they are having a raffle for a few trips around the track in Joliet at the Autobahn. They'll be having some kinda exhibit there as well...

Anyone interested in a after BG tour? Maybe a dinner at Miguels in St Charles (Mexican) after the show ...a few martinis at Bryans (West Chicago)?

Willing to provide travel tips - have fun at BG!

Last year was quite miserable. I recall as Randy (RWH) and I headed into downtown St Charles at 5pm Fri evening, I saw 102 on the ext temp display.

This year looks to be much better. Forecast now for Sat is a high of 93, but not terribly humid. That makes all the difference.

IF this forecast holds, it should be quite nice.
