Chicago Storm

89'd at ORD today. Hit 91 at MDW and 90 here. Other local sites in the vicinity also hit 90/91...so ORD lagged just a bit.

15th on the year now. 91 MDW and here. .

89-91 across the western/northwest suburbs right now. Immediate city area on south lagging a bit. Looks like the site is totally down, unfortunately. Needed it one last time for these two periods.

Bit late... But if things would have cleared out earlier in the day on the 3rd, we probably would have been looking at a fairly significant day. The tor near UGN from that small spud t’storm shows the potential that was there. .

Looks like we have two upcoming periods to tag the last 90(s) of the season. Tomorrow-Thursday and Sunday-Wednesday all have potential to be in the vicinity of 90. The biggest issues during both periods will be clouds, potential rain/t'storms and lower end UA temp thresholds. ORD has been sitting at 14 90+ days on the year for a while now, which is the average for the year. We'll see if we can tack on one or more, to push things above average.

Yes. .

Still waiting for TH to make a valid point.

This RI we’re seeing now that the storm is moving over the Gulf Stream is unfathomable.

Questionable at best. .

turtlehurricane gonna be waiting a bit for that RI. .

Lookin’ pretty dire. How much for metfan? .

Man, that due W wobble must mean it’s gonna hit MIA. .

Love these ‘canes that get hyped and then go OTS. .

As expected... The SPC holding on to the ENH with the new D1 is lolz. .

Just got back yesterday from being up in Eagle River since the 10th. Had fairly good weather up there most of the time, with a few bouts of rain/storms a few of the nights. Did a bunch of hiking, kayaking, boating, etc. Also ventured up into the UP for one day as well, not too far from Bo country. Looks like I didn't miss too much down here. A few bouts of rain/storms in the area, but didn't miss much imby.

Looks like an overzealous outlook. The main threat will be across IA into W IL later tonight into early tomorrow morning, before a weakening MCS spreads east from there. There's high agreement for that scenario as well.

90 ORD, 91 MDW and 90 here today,

89’d once again at ORD and here today. .

GFS performance overall has been better than the Euro for a while now. .

89’d at ORD, MDW and here today. .

zzz

89 ORD, 90 MDW and 91 here today. .

89’d at ORD, MDW and here on Saturday. .

Looks like today and tomorrow could end up around or 90+ around the area, before a cooler week coming up. .

This period underachieved a bit and was shorter in duration, due to the continued MCS action and a flatter ridge than expected. It still produced the hottest day of the year though, along with the 80+ DP's and 110-120 HI's.
