and it isn't even warranted. sad times, really.

2.07" of rain at ORD last evening/night and into early this morning.

paging hawkeye.

i should say, the enhanced is fine, it’s the placement that is horrid. way too far SE/E. there shouldn’t be a slight in the metro, let alone an enhanced nosing in.

trash outlook. not supported by cams or the environment.

finally some decent deep summer action around here. nothing severe, but this is a step in the right direction.

look at the radar just west? don't go all you know who on us.

It appears that a combination of a couple of factors lead to the setup... An MCV was passing nearby (just south) and a weak front was moving through, which aided in the initial development of activity. There was also a lake breeze that was set up just inland, which appears to have had a [positive] effect on t'storm outflow attempting to push westward against a weak 10-20KT southwesterly LLJ that was in place, thus leading to the re-development and training of activity across that corridor.

Quite a flood event on the near west side early last night.

Added a couple more 90°+ days over the holiday weekend. Hit 92° on the 4th and 94° on Saturday at both ORD and MDW. ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 15 - ORD 15 - DPA 14 - MDW 14 - RFD 14 - PWK 14 - LOT 13 - ARR 9 - UGN
