  1. just a modest cool down, eh? and only for next week you say, huh? gonna start off the season with two L’s. hate to see it.
  2. I’m guessing it’s some sort of burn at one of the large preserves around there. There were so many burns going on at local preserves today that there was a layer of smoke during the afternoon. It was significant enough to put it in OBS here at ORD for a while.
  3. 3.6 magnitude earthquake near I-80 in North-Central Illinois earlier this morning. .
  4. Noticed a few bees and mosquitos around here last week. .
  5. That’s likely a bit too early, but after that quite possibly.
  6. Maybe down south at some point. Definitely not this upcoming week, though.
  7. Partially an example as to why it's not wise to take any given teleconnection at face value based off one of the plots.
  8. doin’ pretty good around these parts at least.
  9. there is nothing great about that place, that’s for sure. .
  10. Solid agreement on deep toughing returning to the West Coast much of next week, as we see a bit of a shake up in the large scale pattern across North America and vicinity. This will lead to another period of very mild temperatures across the sub-forum.

  15. Not surprisingly, these squalls are fairly convective… .
  16. You should later, when that lake enhanced pivot moves through. May see a corridor of 1-3" with it.
  17. ORD on the board with 0.1” thus far today. Already tied for the 2nd snowiest Halloween on record. .
  18.

  19. The first real-deal flake potential of the season around here may be on the horizon for Halloween. Guidance is in agreement as of now for a potent disturbance to move through, bringing a squally/showery set-up.
  20. Topped out at 83° at ORD today, which tied the record high temperature for the date (1963).
  21. Chicago/O'Hare had a high temperature of 83° today, which tied the record high temperature for the date of 83°, which was set in 1963.
  22. Solid LER setup tonight, affecting Southeast Wisconsin, parts of Illinois, and Northwest Indiana. One band makes it down to nearly the STL area. .
