  1. With the help of the increasing drought, we've eeked out a few 90° days recently. Topped out at 90° at ORD on Sunday. Peaked at 90° at both ORD and at MDW on Monday. ...2024 90°+ Day Tally... 22 - MDW 21 - ORD 18 - LOT 17 - PWK 17 - ARR 16 - RFD 15 - DPA 10 - UGN
  2. Activity around here on Tuesday evening/night had prolific lightning production. It was probably a top 10 light show. Ended up with a peak wind gust of 53MPH at ORD, with some blowing dirt/dust for awhile as well, as it has been dry and outflow winds were well ahead of any rain/t'storm activity.
  3. A few record tied or broken during this recent period... ORD had a low temperature of 74° on August 25th, which tied the record high min temp for the date of 74° (1959). ORD had a low temperature of 79° on August 26th, which broke the record high min temp for the date of 77° (1973). ORD had a high temperature of 99° on August 27th, which broke the record high max temp for the date of 97° (1937).
  4. Chicago/O'Hare had a low temperature of 74° on August 25th, which tied the record high minimum temperature for the date of 74° (1959). Chicago/O'Hare had a low temperature of 79° on August 26th, which broke the record high minimum temperature for the date of 77° (1973). Chicago/O'Hare had a high temperature of 99° on August 27th, which broke the record high maximum temperature for the date of 97° (1937).
  5. Topped out at 99° at both ORD and at MDW on Tuesday. ...2024 90°+ Day Tally... 21 - MDW 19 - ORD 17 - PWK 16 - RFD 16 - LOT 15 - DPA 15 - ARR 10 - UGN
  6. lol. i didn't have a beavis summer rant in my card deck, but it lived up to the usual winter lol's.
  7. you had said if it were to hit 100° today it would be historical, which other than breaking a daily record, it would not be. as you have said, it has it 100°+ in sept before, and on multiple occasions. take your nonsense elsewhere.
  8. Catching up on what's ongoing... Topped out at 91° at ORD and at MDW on Saturday. Peaked at 93° at ORD and 92° at MDW on Sunday. Reached 96° at ORD and 95° at MDW today. ...2024 90°+ Day Tally... 20 - MDW 18 - ORD 16 - PWK 15 - RFD 15 - LOT 14 - DPA 14 - ARR 9 - UGN
  9. tth. It hit 100° last year on 8/24. (Not that I think it will hit 100°+, because I don’t.)
  10. what's coming up for next weekend-ish is going to be limited to a few days. so, there's still nothing consistent or long lasting upcoming. nonetheless, it's good to see another good push of summer conditions on tap. at this time of year, you never know when your last may be.
  11. Northern lights/aurora displays were camera and eye visible in the metro area on Sunday night. Took this iPhone shot off of our balcony.
  12. NWS offices have been putting the final touches on info regarding the July 15th derecho severe t'storm event in the area. In total, 48 tornadoes occurred with the July 15th derecho across N and C Illinois. This total sets a new state record for most tornadoes in a 24 hour period, in a single day, and for an event. In addition to the state records set, 32 tornadoes occurred across the LOT CWA in IL and IN. This total blew out the previous record of 22 tornadoes, set on June 30th, 2014, during a double derecho event. ...IL CWA Totals... DVN: 9 LOT: 30 ILX: 10 ................... Total: 48 (Note: One tor crossed from ILX to LOT, so the overall tor count is one less.)
  13. NWS offices have been putting the final touches on info regarding the July 14th and July 15th (Derecho) severe t'storm events in the area. For the severe t'storm event on July 14th, LOT and ILX have confirmed that 14 tornadoes occurred across their CWA's. (9 LOT & 5 ILX).
