the 2026 illinois tornado total was at 134 prior to yesterday. combine yesterday with last thursday’s info still incomplete, and we’re probably right at the record currently.
-
134 prior to today, and with info not yet completed from last thursday.
-
the reverse jinx is strong around here.
-
it's already about to move out of the new warning too. ilx has been struggling all day.
-
they got duped. most, if not all of that, is contamination.
-
they might want to do another check on observations (radar, satellite, surface obs), because it is definitely over north of us24.
-
not this time, that was a real call for a change.
-
one of the worst md’s and watches from them this year, maybe the worst. totally uncalled for.
-
it’s over up north.
-
G78MPH in Cedar Rapids with the bow.
-
tbh, i believe tomorrow will pale in comparison to last thursday in illinois. that's my hunch.
-
Can't get anyone to cover me tomorrow, so I'll be missing chasing this one, just as I missed last Thursday's event. Time for some reverse-jinxing to pull stuff north once again, to make it interesting locally.

The only thing is, this isn't a cool June. June is running +4.0 at ORD through the 14th.

First 90°+ day of the year on Wednesday at ORD and MDW, with a high of 91° at both locations. ...2026 90°+ Day Tally... 3 - ARR 1 - ORD 1 - MDW 1 - RFD 1 - PWK 1 - LOT 1 - UGN 0 - DPA

Ended up having a supercell quickly develop over DuPage County last evening, which then moved through ORD. There was a transient wall cloud at times with it as it approached from the southwest, as the storm interacted with an OFB and briefly tried to be interesting.
-
Janky LL lapse rates and a warm nose aloft will be the bullet in today in the favorable corridor.
-
sangamon county is in the watch. springfield can't be in the watch if sangamon county isn't.
-
Rapid recovery occurring across the southern half of the DVN CWA.
-
There's not a single 12z CAM that has a handle on evolution of the initial MCS.
-
Quite possibly. The latest HRRR already has a better handle, and never gets the WF back to even I-80.
-
I believe we will see some changes regarding expectations for today. Let the HRRR catch up to reality over the next few runs, and we’ll likely see a clearer and different picture painted.
-
it's a magical thing.
-
The forum will compress this picture to hell, but here was the view out of ORD as the line approached…
