It most definitely is the demise/final warming of the SPV, no question on that at all. -

With the snow at ORD last Friday evening and the t'storms last evening at ORD, the pursuit of a top 10 driest February has ended. The monthly precip total for February 2024 is now up to 0.63". -

Broke the record high max temp on Feb 26th and the record high min temp on Feb 27th. However, just barely missed the record high max temp on Feb 27th, the all-time record Feb high max temp, and the all-time record winter high max temp with a high of "only" 74° at ORD yesterday. Also, just missed the all-time record Feb high min temp with a low of "only" 52° at ORD yesterday. -
Winter 2023/24 Medium/Long Range Discussion
Chicago Storm replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
it's been over. if OHweather or myself are not posting tl:dr posts about the long range, there's nothing to see for you winter loving people. -
The line of severe t'storms that swept through the metro ended up producing a peak wind gust of 41MPH and 0.50" hail at ORD. It wasn't anything too exciting, but solid for February. The lightning/thunder production may have been the best I can remember in February.

That's part of why there is a risk today.

74° at ORD currently. Just shy of all of the records in play...

Wish I were able to be chasing today, but couldn't swing it at work. There two targets overall that I would have considered... •N Illinois near the SLP/CF/DL/WF intersection. However, it's unknown if this activity will be surface based or not. •I-80/southern Chicago suburbs down into E IL/IN. Dryline play for discrete supercells, should the cap erode.
