  3. Some locations were able to sneak in a rare late September 90°+ day on Monday. MDW was one of those locations, with a high of 90° on Monday. I said this a week ago, so we'll see if it sticks this time... We are likely done for the year with 90°+ days, so the below will likely be the final overall tally for the year. ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 30 - MDW 28 - DPA 28 - PWK 27 - ORD 27 - ARR 22 - LOT 20 - RFD 17 - UGN
  4. Probably the most significant pattern change we've seen in a while is on the horizon... We're going to replace the constant re-loading +EPO with a re-loading -EPO and -PNA. This will likely will lead to a more active weather pattern than we've seen (That's not hard to do) and more of an up/down temperature regime, with some shots of real fall conditions.
  5. MDW was able to sneak in a high of 90° on Friday. We are likely done for the year with 90°+ days, so the below will likely be the final overall tally for the year. ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 29 - MDW 28 - PWK 27 - ORD 27 - DPA 26 - ARR 22 - LOT 20 - RFD 17 - UGN
  6. ENS keep a re-loading a +EPO for the rest of the month. If nothing else were to factor in, that would keep the mild/warm temps in place.
  7. nelson is like one of the most chill people here. so, to say he’s annoying is super lol. definitely a projection there.
  8. We added a couple more 90°+ days this past weekend... It hit 91° at ORD and 92° at MDW on Friday. It topped out at 95° at ORD and 96° at MDW on Saturday. ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 28 - MDW 28 - PWK 27 - ORD 27 - DPA 26 - ARR 22 - LOT 20 - RFD 17 - UGN
  9. The SPC is too hung up on that struggling MCS across S WI and N IL. Main focus will be south near remnant outflow, which is partially washing out to the far west in IA. E IA into N IL will be more of the focal point for new development this afternoon.
  10. debt repayment has been completed. final total paid...5 years.
  11. ula vulcan rocket launch was apparently visible overhead for all a short time ago.
  12. Topped out at 95° at ORD and 94° at MDW on Saturday. On Sunday, MDW hit 92° (ORD 89°'d). ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 26 - MDW 26 - PWK 25 - ORD 25 - DPA 23 - ARR 20 - RFD 20 - LOT 16 - UGN

  14. UHI isn't as big of a factor as you'd think it is. For example... RFD has is sitting at 18 days and ARR is sitting at 21 says. 3/4th of RFD is surrounding by open land and corn fields. ARR is in an entirely rural area, fully surrounded by corn fields. MSN is actually situated in a better location for UHI effects that either of them, but, does have the smaller lakes to the SW/S too contend with.
  15. 23 90+ days year to date at ORD, not 24.
  16. Hit 91° at ORD and at MDW today. ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 23 - ORD 23 - MDW 23 - DPA 22 - PWK 21 - ARR 18 - RFD 18 - LOT 13 - UGN
  17. smoke has been an every summer occurrence for years now.
  18. Neither MLI nor DVN have an observer. MLI is the only site with augmented OBS, likely conducted by someone in the ATCT (usually ass-y OBS).
  19. Topped out at 93° at ORD and at MDW today. ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 23 - DPA 22 - ORD 22 - MDW 21 - PWK 21 - ARR 18 - RFD 18 - LOT 13 - UGN

  21. they're not going to cancel it and then re-issue it for tomorrow, dingus. the better question is, why is the criteria so low around there. (the same can be said for other cwa's as well)
  22. i'd say it has been pretty active.
  23. Peaked at 92° at ORD and 96° at MDW today. ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 20 - ORD 20 - DPA 19 - MDW 19 - PWK 18 - ARR 17 - LOT 15 - RFD 11 - UGN
