Up to -14 ORD as of last OBS, which will likely be the high for daytime hours...though the actual high will be the midnight temp of -10.
The first checkpoint I want to see for -30 is -15 by 6PM OBS...which realistically shouldn't be hard given where things are right now.
About a week ago I went coldest temp of -28 for ORD during this period. I think I'm going to stick with that for the temp for tonight.
Additionally, I think across Northern Illinois the coldest location will end up being ARR, at -37.
Still -15 ORD. Likely won't fall much anymore, so we're going to have a nice starting point for tonight.
Only need 13F from current temp for the record.
The coldest noon temp of the 2014 cold was 1/6, with a noon temp of -14.
This time noon temp was -18, which makes it the second coldest noon temp on record...only behind -21 on 1/10/1982.
