It's Another Hot One!

The temperature hit 96 degrees in Elmhurst on Tuesday and, by all accounts, we're in for more of the same today. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory.

These folks have the right idea. Where better to hang out than at one of Elmhurst's two public pools? Smalley Pool, at York Commons Park, 665 S. York, is tons of spashy fun for kids. Open swim hours are noon to 8 p.m. daily, noon to 4 p.m. on July 4.

East End Pool, at 463 Schiller St., offers different hours for adult swim, lap swim and open swim. See the schedule here. 

Here's the pool pass registration form. Following are the rates for season pass, punch card and daily admission:

Proof of Elmhurst residency must be shown to qualify for resident rates. All users must show a valid pass or pay a daily fee.

But fun in the sun won't last. Thunderstorms are in the forecast, and then expect a cool-down. The chance of rain is 30 percent at 6 p.m. Wednesday, 50 percent at 9 p.m. and 60 percent overnight, according to NWS. Expect a rather gloomy day on Thursday, with low temperatures reaching 53 degrees overnight.
