High here was -12 at both midnight and during the day. Have since fallen back to -14 now.
-
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.
-
LOT going as cold as -42 just east of RPJ for tonight.
-
Yea, there's a few check points I have in mind to break the record or hit -30.
-
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.

You often make little sense.
-
MLI the only one that "warm" in the area.
-
The -51 wind chill at ORD for the 7AM OBS is tied for the 5th coldest hourly OBS wind chill on record.
-
Anddddd Hoosier beat me by seconds.
-
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.

Look locked into a 2-4” event tomorrow. I’ll go 3.0” ORD. . -
This is advection cold, not radiational cold. Thus, the cold is about the same everywhere. Tonight will be radiational cold.
-
ORD down to -17. Already broke the daily record low of -15, set in 1966.
-
ORD has dropped 4F in the past hour...down to -13 now. Once that front past, the advection really ramped up. Too bad it was literally 10mins too late for the one record.
-
-20's temps and -50's wind chills have entered NW. Illinois. DBQ now -22 with -51 WC.
-
ORD -10 as of midnight. All time record low max temp of -11 will stand.

ORD was -6 at 8:30. Everything is on track. The coldest push of air is incoming. Its coming in waves... -10's entering NW. Illinois now, -20's in SE. Minnesota now.
-
Let me just put this right here...
-
0.3" ORD and 0.1" here today from the Arctic snow showers. DPA even reported +SN for a brief time.
-
A majority of that is OBS sites reporting the blowing snow as falling snow.
-
Temp drops of 3F/hr moving into ARX/DVN CWA now. Mason City dropped 3F in last hour, for example.
-
You were wrong last week, and will be wrong again this time around.
-
And there it is... RAP the first showing -40's in the region. -41 near SQI 12z Thur morning and -32 ORD, with temps still dropping.
