Chicago Storm

89'd at ORD today. Hit 91 at MDW and 90 here. Other local sites in the vicinity also hit 90/91...so ORD lagged just a bit.

15th on the year now. 91 MDW and here. .

89-91 across the western/northwest suburbs right now. Immediate city area on south lagging a bit. Looks like the site is totally down, unfortunately. Needed it one last time for these two periods.

Bit late... But if things would have cleared out earlier in the day on the 3rd, we probably would have been looking at a fairly significant day. The tor near UGN from that small spud t’storm shows the potential that was there. .

Looks like we have two upcoming periods to tag the last 90(s) of the season. Tomorrow-Thursday and Sunday-Wednesday all have potential to be in the vicinity of 90. The biggest issues during both periods will be clouds, potential rain/t'storms and lower end UA temp thresholds. ORD has been sitting at 14 90+ days on the year for a while now, which is the average for the year. We'll see if we can tack on one or more, to push things above average.

Yes. .

Still waiting for TH to make a valid point.

Frictional effects of an island that has a max elevation of ~30-40', and one in which has been mostly underwater, are going to be virtually none at this point. The trough is really not that much slower than anticipated in recent times either. The storm has stalled as expected, though after already making the northward turn.

It's not hitting FL.

This RI we’re seeing now that the storm is moving over the Gulf Stream is unfathomable.

Thanks for my verification. .

Questionable at best. .

It looks the same as it has all morning. .

turtlehurricane gonna be waiting a bit for that RI. .

Another period of RI is out of the question. .
