Lake Geneva, WI was hit hard. Widespread and significant damage across that area, including several boats that were capsized on the lake. Seven people were rescued from the lake and three children lost their lives.

Got rolled at home before heading off to work. Peak wind gusts ~60MPH with scattered branches down around town. As for ORD, one of the runway sensors gusted to 63MPH, but ASOS had a peak wind gust of 54MPH.

na, it was just a horrible md and outlook adjustment. nothing supported it, not even the wofs that they specifically referenced. the area was capped, there was no boundary nor anything to force development across eastern iowa or northern illinois.

SUPER localized scouring out and mixing in parts of the metro area currently. All sites are carrying a 70+ DP, except for ORD and UGN, which have been running in the low to upper 60's. ORD has a current DP of 63, with 70 at MDW. ORD also has the highest area temp currently at 95. I cross-checked things with our back-up units here, and they are right on par with the lower DP and are actually running a bit warmer with the temp at 97.

ORD and MDW both peaked at 94° yesterday.

We’re finally seeing earlier and better mixing locally today. Monday and yesterday really didn’t start mixing until later afternoon. Today it has been all day, and it looks to be more thorough now, with DP’s bouncing between 66-70° currently. With that, today should feature the peak high temp of this stretch. Tomorrow would have a shot as well, if not for increased cloud and outflow potential.

The best month of the year has arrived.

Under-mixing. It always seems to be the issue in these set-ups. Edit: Looks like the 0z and 12z HRRR 'only' had a high of 91, so it seems overzealous DVN was just being its usual self.
-
It's unfortunate that the ridge center trended east over the past several days. We could have had a shot at 100 locally with it better positioned further west, and we also likely would have prolonged the heat wave as well prior to ROF potential.
