Chicago Storm

Got up to 95° at ORD and at MDW today. ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 6 - ORD 6 - MDW 6 - RFD 6 - DPA 6 - PWK 6 - ARR 6 - LOT 5 - UGN

Gotta say, the Euro has done horribly with its handling of mixing during this period. It has been way over mixed and way too high with projected temps. In the short term, the HRRR has been stellar.

IWX is the only one out that way that issued CWA-wide. I think that was his point.

Chicago/O'Hare received 1.86" of precipitation on June 18th, which broke the record precipitation total for the date of 1.80" (1892).

Chicago/O'Hare had a low temperature of 80° on June 22nd, which broke the record high minimum temperature for the date of 76° (1923/1908).

Topped out at 94° at ORD and 95° at MDW on Sunday.ORD had a low temp of 80° on Sunday, which broke the record high min temp for the date of 76°(1923/1908).

Peaked at 94° at ORD and 95° at MDW on Saturday. ORD had a low temp of 78° on Saturday, which broke the record high min temp for the date of 74°(1923). ORD also had a low temp of ‘only’ 80° this morning, which puts things on track to break the record high min temp for today’s date as well.

Chicago/O'Hare had a low temperature of 78° on June 21st, which broke the record high minimum temperature for the date of 74° (1923).

It will be interesting to see how many 90+ days we actually string together around here. Sat-Mon are a full on lock for 90+, but after that it gets tricky with the ROF potential. The Euro has been consistently keeping the streak alive all week, though, through Friday or so.

i thought that this thread existed already, but apparently it does not. so, here we go...

we all know that the active corridor always ends up further south than modeled.

well, in the end the timing improved, but the track still lead to a doa situation. the convection across the southern plains the night before ended up further south, leading to a further south track of the potent mcv.

Yesterday qualifies as a serial derecho.

Topped out at 92° at ORD and at MDW today. ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 3 - ORD 3 - MDW 3 - RFD 3 - DPA 3 - PWK 3 - ARR 3 - LOT 2 - UGN

tomorrow trended doa quickly for around here, with a quick trend towards poor timing of the mcv passage. shame. we've reached the point where things ramped up for a month of quality activity from mid-june through mid-july last year, after a similarly slow start like this year. it doesn't look like a turn-around is in the cards just yet.

personally, it would be hard for me to call anything about that convective feedback. a solidly well defined and strong MCV. the question to me is, will it be boom or bust. we've seen those go both directions over the years.

which day?

Topped out at 92° at ORD and at 91° MDW yesterday. Warmest of the season to date at ORD. ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 2 - ORD 2 - MDW 2 - RFD 2 - DPA 2 - PWK 2 - ARR 2 - LOT 1 - UGN

The activity that moved through parts of the metro area yesterday afternoon over-performed expectations on what was an isolated/low quality potential day. The main severe t’storm just missed home by about 2 miles or so, but I took a drive down the road into Batavia and encountered 2.00” hail and ~60MPH winds. After it passed, I drove another block or so down the road and found some 2.50” hail stones laying in the grass. This wasn’t a true big hail, as it was just spiky smaller hail (See pics). The worst of it all was in the subdivision to the east of where I sat, where 70-90MPH downburst winds occurred with 2.50” hail as well. I drove through this area post-storm, and there were hail piles everywhere, high quality hail fog, shredded trees, and widespread significant tree damage.

you still have a few more years worth of debt for 8/10/20.

minus the late may period, spring was great.

LOT confirmed 1 tornado in their CWA from Tuesday's event (May 20th). 1 tornado in IL. The 2025 LOT CWA tornado count is now 18. Edit: Also, a landspout tornado was confirmed on May 14th in the IL portion of the LOT CWA, which has been added to the 2025 count above.

Also, add in that the area it had originated from had missed out on activity with the event on the previous day. With the resurging dry/drought conditions lately, it just happened to be a perfect situation that the severe t'storm activity had collapse in that exact area.
