    Numerous locations in Western and Southern Illinois are breaching 100. Quincy and Macomb are the hottest, at 102 so far.
  2. Chicago Storm
    at least you finally tagged 90.
  3. Chicago Storm
    It's 99 as of noon in Hannibal, MO (HAE).

    The only concern I have for the area today is that the backdoor front drives too far inland and too early, undercutting the best goods a bit. Outside of that one concern, all systems are a go with a solid environment.

    Topped out at 92 at ORD, 91 at MDW, and 91 at RFD today. ...2023 90°+ Day Tally... 12 - ORD 11 - MDW 8 - DPA 8 - ARR 8 - LOT 7 - RFD 7 - PWK 3 - UGN

    A nice overlap of hot temps and high DP's once again today in Western Illinois. It's currently 98/82/122 in Macomb.

    And not surprisingly, nothing happened. Timing on the passage of the MCV was just not optimal, a few hours too early.

    It's currently 99/80/121 in Macomb. There seems to be an overlap of quality moisture and hot temperatures right around there... Head southwest and it's also 99 in Quincy, head north and there's also an 80 DP in Galesburg.

    It’s a race of time right now. A potent MCV continues steadily moving east across S WI. The window of opportunity is fairly short though, before the MCV moves too far east. Shall see how it goes here over the next two hours or so, but a solid environment for severe t'storms is advecting back in, in the wake of the early round of activity.

    It's a nice area. Gives me a Midwestern Key West vibe.

    Spent the weekend over in Saugatuck, MI. Solid weather prevailed, allowing for all activities.
  14. Chicago Storm
    This next weekend into early the following week will be the time, as the better flow and disturbance train returns. Until then it looks to stay mostly zzz on the front of interesting wx.

    seasonal trends will probably win out. .
  16. Chicago Storm
    Yea, we haven't had any real pushes of heat/humidity this far northeast into the sub-forum yet this warm season. Even so, most areas around here (Minus near the IL/WI border) are still on pace to hit or exceed average for amount of 90° days on the year.
  17. Chicago Storm
    The difference between official OBS sites of MLI and RFD is significant, to say the least. MLI has 23 90°+ days on the year, compared to 5 at RFD. Both sites are only ~87 miles apart.

    Made it into the 90's across portions of the area this past Friday (July 14th). ORD and MDW topped out at 90. ...2023 90°+ Day Tally... 9 - ORD 8 - MDW 7 - DPA 7 - ARR 6 - LOT 6 - PWK 5 - RFD 3 - UGN

    Didn’t have a visual from here at the weather office at ORD. Rain and haze prevented viewing until the area of interest was moving from Rosemont into Park Ridge. At that point I could see a big ground scrubbing wall cloud. Probably was something under it, but no way could say with confidence given the visibility issues. .
  20. Chicago Storm
    took the L in Northeast Illinois. .
  21. Chicago Storm
    Small corridor across Southern DuPage/Will/Cook is the corridor of interest at this point. Warm front/recovery made it far enough north for MCV influence overlap.
  22. Chicago Storm
    Recovery across North-Central and Northeast Illinois is limited and struggling, to say the least.
  23. Chicago Storm
    CAM's are overdone on the environment, and likely their solutions.
  24. Chicago Storm
    Timing isn't the biggest issue. Ridge placement and environment are, both of which favor the southwestern/southern portions of the sub-forum for this upcoming stretch.
  25. Chicago Storm
    68MPH peak wind gust at MDW a short time ago, associated with a downburst. .
