  3. ORD had a low temperature of 68° on Wednesday, which broke the record high min temp for the date of 62° (1974).
  4. Chicago/O'Hare had a low temperature of 68° on October 30th, which broke the record high minimum temperature for the date of 62° (1974).
  5. ORD had a low temperature of 67° yesterday, which broke the record high min temp for the date of 65° (1946).
  6. Chicago/O'Hare had a low temperature of 67° on October 29th, which broke the record high minimum temperature for the date of 65° (1946).
  7. idiotic. they should focus more on consistently having good forecasts first.
  8. ORD had a high temperature of 82° today, which broke the record high max temp for the date of 78° (1999/1901).
  9. Chicago/O'Hare had a high temperature of 82° on October 29th, which broke the record high maximum temperature for the date of 78° (1999/1901).
  10. Today is what all deep fall days should be like.
  11. Right at peak fall foliage color across the area right now. If not for the drought, it's quite possible that peak conditions may have not been until early November. The consistently mild temps did a great job at offsetting drought effects, allowing the peak as late as we're seeing now.
  12. If it's coded as hail, it will not count towards being the 2nd earliest snowfall on record.
  13. For those that are bored and want to watch random hurricane clips, video is up...
  14. CPC outlooks are useless. They're always "forecasting" what a certain ENSO pattern should look like. Long range forecasts months in advance are useless in general.
  15. not this time, but it would have been helpful to have had an above ground level report.
  16. Made it back to St. Petersburg after the intercept in Sarasota earlier. Checked out Tropicana Field and the crane downed…
  17. Yea, it was a fairly steady/quick rise or perhaps 1-3’.
  18. Surge coming into Sarasota steadily now. Had to retreat from Bayfront Park and back into “downtown” a bit.
  19. Low and mid level clouds have cleared in the residual eye here in Sarasota. Directly above at this time, totally calm. 957MB on Kestrel.
  20. Consistent high end tropical storm force/low end hurricane force wind gusts in Sarasota. Still very limited surge, nothing of note.
  21. Made it to Sarasota. Water levels are a bit elevated, but not enough for much flooding along the shore. Winds are still consistently gusting to mid to high level tropical storm force.
  22. Stepping south to Sarasota now. Getting mid to upper tropical storm force wind gusts at times now, resulting in some scattered tree damage. Water rise at Cortez was still slow. Scattered road and land flooding from the heavy rainfall. Just passed a large fire near Bayshore Gardens.
  23. Conditions slowly, but steadily increasing here in Cortez. Getting low end tropical storm force wind gusts, with a slow water rise over the past hour to hour and a half.
  24. Currently in Cortez, FL…on the coast near Bradenton. The outer bands have been gusty, but nothing significant. Monitoring for the possibility of needing to step south a bit.
  25. Starting the morning here in St. Pete, and will be stepping southward as needed through the day today.
