  1. nelson is like one of the most chill people here. so, to say he’s annoying is super lol. definitely a projection there.
  2. We added a couple more 90°+ days this past weekend... It hit 91° at ORD and 92° at MDW on Friday. It topped out at 95° at ORD and 96° at MDW on Saturday. ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 28 - MDW 28 - PWK 27 - ORD 27 - DPA 26 - ARR 22 - LOT 20 - RFD 17 - UGN
  3. The SPC is too hung up on that struggling MCS across S WI and N IL. Main focus will be south near remnant outflow, which is partially washing out to the far west in IA. E IA into N IL will be more of the focal point for new development this afternoon.
  4. debt repayment has been completed. final total paid...5 years.
  5. ula vulcan rocket launch was apparently visible overhead for all a short time ago.

  8. UHI isn't as big of a factor as you'd think it is. For example... RFD has is sitting at 18 days and ARR is sitting at 21 says. 3/4th of RFD is surrounding by open land and corn fields. ARR is in an entirely rural area, fully surrounded by corn fields. MSN is actually situated in a better location for UHI effects that either of them, but, does have the smaller lakes to the SW/S too contend with.
  9. 23 90+ days year to date at ORD, not 24.

  11. smoke has been an every summer occurrence for years now.
  12. Neither MLI nor DVN have an observer. MLI is the only site with augmented OBS, likely conducted by someone in the ATCT (usually ass-y OBS).

  15. they're not going to cancel it and then re-issue it for tomorrow, dingus. the better question is, why is the criteria so low around there. (the same can be said for other cwa's as well)
  16. i'd say it has been pretty active.
  17. Peaked at 92° at ORD and 96° at MDW today. ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 20 - ORD 20 - DPA 19 - MDW 19 - PWK 18 - ARR 17 - LOT 15 - RFD 11 - UGN
  18. what are you paying for? has to be something with a big up-front cost.
  19. interesting question… would ya’ll trade theclimatechanger straight up for cromartie?
  20. No quality pictures today, unfortunately. The front sagged through here at ORD just as this stuff got going out west and moved in, so it's a miss south up here. I was watching the cam while it hit down at home. It looks like the best wind missed just south, but the lightning was the best of the year easily... Top shelf CG action.
  21. na, that had zero impact on the day.

  24. A line of t’storms/severe t’storms just moved through a short time ago, both at home and here at ORD. Watched it on cam when it hit home, and looked visually liked 50MPH+ peak wind gusts. Here at ORD the ASOS wind sensor went down, so had to use back-up airfield sensors, which had a peak wind gust of 67MPH. But, honestly, it looked nothing close to that here at the office. Here’s a shot as the activity was moving in…
