Air conditioning restored to all 4 buildings in Park Forest, Illinois apartment complex
Any residents still having issues are advised to contact maintenance.
Back in June, residents of the buildings complained that the AC had not been on all year. When a heat wave hit the area late that month, the air conditioning was still out, and one resident's thermostat read 92 degrees inside an apartment.
The AC was restored to one of the four buildings during that heat wave on June 24.
With extreme heat having settled in the area again Wednesday, the community center at the Autumn Ridge and the Park Forest Village Hall are open as cooling centers during business hours.
The Park Forest Police Department is open as a cooling center 24 hours on Wednesday and Thursday.

Temperatures across Colorado's Front Range remain cool on Sunday ahead of workweek warmup
Get outside and enjoy the Colorado weather on Sunday. Temperatures will be near normal for the Front Range before Mother Nature cranks up the heat for the workweek. A ridge of high pressure has temperatures climbing near triple-digit heat starting Tuesday. It's not until next Saturday that temperatures cool to the upper 80s and low 90s. There is just enough instability in the atmosphere that the eastern plains could see some severe storms. The metro area and mountains, however, will likely remain dry. While we need rain showers for the drought, it looks like we are going to have to wait a bit for relief.

A second round of storms is expected late tonight, primarily west of I-35, with a Level 2 "slight risk" for severe weather due to potential gusty winds. DALLAS - North Texas residents are starting the day under a muggy blanket of air, with temperatures similar to Sunday morning's, hovering in the mid- to upper-70s. Sunday Forecast What we know A few spots in outlying areas and along the Red River are slightly cooler, dipping into the low 70s and even upper 60s in some western and southwestern locations. As the day progresses, afternoon high temperatures are expected to reach the low to mid-90s. With dew points remaining in the low 70s, the heat index could climb into the upper 90s, making it feel even hotter outside. A complex of storms is approaching the Wichita Falls area and moving southeast, though we've seen a slight weakening of the system. While severe thunderstorm warnings along the leading edge have expired, isolated showers and storms could still survive the trip to areas west of Interstate 35W and north of Interstate 30. There is a 20 to 30% chance of rain for those areas. North Texas Live Radar What's next Another storm system is expected to arrive late tonight after midnight, primarily impacting areas west of I-35. The National Weather Service has placed part of North Texas under a Level 2 slight risk for severe weather, noting the initial storms could produce gusty winds. The storm activity is expected to be short-lived, with high pressure returning after the weekend. That system will likely bring a return to triple-digit temperatures and dry conditions early next week. 7-Day Forecast The Source Information in this article is from the FOX 4 News Weather Team.
