Exactly. there are plenty of people here who like warm weather over cold. And they are totally fine because they don't troll

Although we do quietly laugh at some of the epic meltdowns over the years when big storms miss.

Accuweather has Chicagoland below freezing for the entire month of January. Whole month.

I'm not gonna hold my breath on that one.

And then that happened....

Hot, hot, hot!

August hourly heat index records at ORD (1946-present) and MDW (1948-present), per Iowa Environmental Mesonet data plotter (see below). Should be close to some of these numbers the next couple of days, although that 117F from 8/1/1953 is probably out of reach.

ORD

MDW

I got married in Aug of 95 at a south suburban country club. Those temps were absolutely brutal.

Looking east at the cell in eastern DeKalb county. Approx 7:45pm

it's been like paradise, just unreal wx, especially for the normies who don't mind the lack of storms

makes it obv why lakefront living was so valued in the pre-ac historical era

 

"Cooler by the lake" is something all Chicagoans have burned into their psyche.

Shutout cancel here, did manage to scrape up 0.06" from a micro cell.  Up to 0.18" for June!!!

We were camping at Mississippi Palisades. Guess which tiny blob of rain got the tent wet right before packing it up?

The problem is as soon as you get some wind to mix it up, it'll cool down. It takes more than a couple weeks of warmth to warm up such a big, deep body of water. It's pretty deceiving really. The water temp there could easily be cooler on the 4th of July than it is now.

Or you try to swim in it and your legs below the knees are freezing.

The drought will break (perhaps only temporarily) on Father's Day weekend.

I know this, because we are going camping.

Storm damage from the 6am line through southern DeKalb County. Mother in law is also reporting some siding damage in Sycamore.

Holy heatwave Batman!

Ryan Hall just mentioned Malacka, not by name.

There's like 842 chasers out there tonight. How do you know he was referring to @Malacka11?

@andyhb just said conditions are favorable for this cell to to continue on towards Peoria/Washington.

I can't believe how many chasers are on these storms! Someone's gonna get hurt.

Brad Arnold got a mean looking funnel/possible tor on the Illinois cell for a hot second

That thing looks MEAN!

Impressive precip rate with those storms south of DKB. We didn't even get a direct hit at the farm.

How to explain the difference between a watch and a warning.

Power out south of DKB. Wind got pretty good for 15 minutes.

"Impossible"

I'm leaving from DKB at 0700 tomorrow and driving down I65 to Louisville. I'll have the dashcam running the whole way and can upload any tasty bits. Too bad I'm not set up for live streaming.

This literally made me lol.  Deep low in southern Indiana with cold rain to the north.

 

This one's guaranteed to happen. I'm driving the entire length of I65 from Gary to Louisville Friday morning and this will be 4.5 hours of misery.
