After all the insanity of the last week, how about some calmer weather! Folks in southern Illinois were happy to be out of the severe weather and flooding rains, even as temperatures were well below average for the first day of May.
Around the region, temperatures were as much as 20-degrees below normal, with upper 50s and mid 60s region-wide compared to the lower to mid-70s that are normal for this time of year. Mostly cloudy skies and a slight breeze added to the chill and had people all over town in jackets and long pants as opposed to t-shirts and shorts. It feels more like March than it does May.
Carbondale, IL is in Jackson County, about two hours south/sooutheast of St. Louis.
