Friday Focus: New Perry Weather System
A new weather monitoring system was recently installed at Buffalo Grove High School, replacing the old ThorGuard system. The new Perry Weather system utilizes technology that collects real-time, site-specific conditions and alerts if lightning or other potentially dangerous weather conditions are imminent. Through the new system, we are able to expand our range of coverage by tying into other nearby users, such as the Buffalo Grove Park District. Similar to a tornado warning siren, Perry Weather produces audible tones, accompanied by a strobe light, to indicate that lightning has been detected within a 10-mile radius. Five short tones will indicate that it is safe to resume activity outdoors.

He then followed up Monday afternoon, throwing six scoreless innings. Then, for good measure, Hulligan, who hardly ever bats for himself, added his first two varsity hits as Buffalo Grove blanked Elk Grove 2-0 Monday in Buffalo Grove. With the win, Hulligan, who is 5-1 on the season, is the winningest pitcher in Northwest Cook. Read Story
