Chicago Storm

92 at ORD, MDW and here today. .

94 at ORD and MDW yesterday, and 95 here. 91 at ORD, 90 MDW and 94 here today. MBY, and the western suburbs in general, have been consistently warmer that the immediate UHI the past month or so. Some days the lake has played a role, such as today, and other days not so much.

Yea, in 2012 ORD actually lead the pack many times. However, a few years ago the location of the OBS site was moved on the property. Additionally, they have finished some nearby construction, while starting other new nearby construction. Those changes are likely playing a role as well...

Per LOT.

The GFS and ECMWF are in a agreement on the potential for a string of around 90 to 90+ days starting tomorrow, through the following weekend. There are hints of some real heat late next week and the following weekend as well, with both models showing 100's as well.

There has been confirmation that the sensor is in good working order.

94 at ORD, 96 at MDW and 95 here today. Hottest temps of the year across the board.

91 at ORD and 92 at MDW today 91 here. The past week and a half will go down as a low end heat wave for portions of the area. ORD ended up with five 90+ days, and was 89'd three times. IMBY it hit 90+ all 10 days of the stretch...Being further away from the lake helped a few of the days.

92 at ORD and MDW today. 94 here, as we escaped the OFB's for a while longer. 7th consecutive 90+ day here as well.

ORD had a small storm move overhead earlier, thus the cooler temps at that point. Looks like peak temp of 91 there so far.

ORD 89'd today, while MDW hit 91. 90 here, making it the 6th consecutive 90+ day.

Decent hit today here with the first MCS. Ended up with some smaller tree branches down in the area, estimated winds up to around 60mph. Have been without power since the storms hit...Not due to the winds, but instead lighting. A tree was struck across the way, and took down a power pole and lines, and it all caught on fire. .

91 ORD and 89 MDW today. 92 here, making it the 5th consecutive 90+ day. .

87 at ORD and MDW today. The flow off the lake kept them a bit cooler. Hit 90 here, 4th 90+ day in a row. .
