    I've noticed over time that those who make the drought monitor maps are usually slow at adding conditions and slow at removing conditions. Not sure why the lag on both ends, but it always seems to be the case.

    With the help of the increasing drought, we've eeked out a few 90° days recently. Topped out at 90° at ORD on Sunday. Peaked at 90° at both ORD and at MDW on Monday. ...2024 90°+ Day Tally... 22 - MDW 21 - ORD 18 - LOT 17 - PWK 17 - ARR 16 - RFD 15 - DPA 10 - UGN

    Activity around here on Tuesday evening/night had prolific lightning production. It was probably a top 10 light show. Ended up with a peak wind gust of 53MPH at ORD, with some blowing dirt/dust for awhile as well, as it has been dry and outflow winds were well ahead of any rain/t'storm activity.

    you had said if it were to hit 100° today it would be historical, which other than breaking a daily record, it would not be. as you have said, it has it 100°+ in sept before, and on multiple occasions. take your nonsense elsewhere.

    tth. It hit 100° last year on 8/24. (Not that I think it will hit 100°+, because I don’t.)

    what's coming up for next weekend-ish is going to be limited to a few days. so, there's still nothing consistent or long lasting upcoming. nonetheless, it's good to see another good push of summer conditions on tap. at this time of year, you never know when your last may be.

    Northern lights/aurora displays were camera and eye visible in the metro area on Sunday night. Took this iPhone shot off of our balcony.

    NWS offices have been putting the final touches on info regarding the July 15th derecho severe t'storm event in the area. In total, 48 tornadoes occurred with the July 15th derecho across N and C Illinois. This total sets a new state record for most tornadoes in a 24 hour period, in a single day, and for an event. In addition to the state records set, 32 tornadoes occurred across the LOT CWA in IL and IN. This total blew out the previous record of 22 tornadoes, set on June 30th, 2014, during a double derecho event. ...IL CWA Totals... DVN: 9 LOT: 30 ILX: 10 ................... Total: 48 (Note: One tor crossed from ILX to LOT, so the overall tor count is one less.)
