  1. Peaked at 92° at ORD and 93° at MDW today. ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 24 - ORD 24 - MDW 24 - DPA 23 - PWK 22 - ARR 19 - RFD 19 - LOT 14 - UGN
  2. 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.
  3. 23 90+ days year to date at ORD, not 24.
  4. 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
  5. smoke has been an every summer occurrence for years now.
  6. 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).

  9. 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)
  10. i'd say it has been pretty active.
  11. 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
  12. what are you paying for? has to be something with a big up-front cost.
  13. interesting question… would ya’ll trade theclimatechanger straight up for cromartie?
  14. No quality pictures today, unfortunately. The front sagged through here at ORD just as this stuff got going out west and moved in, so it's a miss south up here. I was watching the cam while it hit down at home. It looks like the best wind missed just south, but the lightning was the best of the year easily... Top shelf CG action.
  15. na, that had zero impact on the day.
  16. Topped out at 94° at ORD and at MDW today. ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 19 - ORD 19 - DPA 18 - MDW 18 - ARR 18 - PWK 16 - LOT 15 - RFD 11 - UGN

  18. A line of t’storms/severe t’storms just moved through a short time ago, both at home and here at ORD. Watched it on cam when it hit home, and looked visually liked 50MPH+ peak wind gusts. Here at ORD the ASOS wind sensor went down, so had to use back-up airfield sensors, which had a peak wind gust of 67MPH. But, honestly, it looked nothing close to that here at the office. Here’s a shot as the activity was moving in…

  21. and it isn't even warranted. sad times, really.
  22. 2.07" of rain at ORD last evening/night and into early this morning.
  23. i should say, the enhanced is fine, it’s the placement that is horrid. way too far SE/E. there shouldn’t be a slight in the metro, let alone an enhanced nosing in.
