Chicago Storm

Nelson can't be a chill person here if he wanted to rustle frostfern's jimmies.

You are annoying.  Just scroll the fuck past if you don’t want to read asshole.  I don’t read half the shit posted here.  Why don’t you post something?

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.

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.

Holy cow, what a storm!   This reminds me of the derecho.  It briefly poured half-inch size hail, then 70 mph wind blasted through.  I couldn't even see the houses across the street.  Thankfully, our hail was only half-inch size.  A spotter only a mile away reported ping-pong ball size.

debt repayment has been completed.

final total paid...5 years.

ula vulcan rocket launch was apparently visible overhead for all a short time ago.

Topped out at 95° at ORD and 94° at MDW on Saturday. On Sunday, MDW hit 92° (ORD 89°'d).

It always amazes me how much of a difference there is for # of 90s pretty much every year between Chicago and Madison. Madison is only at 8 for 90s so far this year. Obviously the UHI is a major part of that, but still such a stark difference over only ~85 miles in latitude.

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.

O'Hare tacked on its 24th 90+ day of the season! Projecting forward, the next three days are all forecast to exceed 90F. If that holds true, the count will reach 27 by Sunday. Very respectable tally, exceeded only once since 1988 (in the VERY hot summer of 2012), and tied for 11th overall.

Looking specifically at O'Hare (records since 1959), that would be 5th highest. Definitely some good company in there with 2012, 1988 and 1983.

23 90+ days year to date at ORD, not 24.

Hit 91° at ORD and at MDW today.

Two summers of smoke 
I am so ready for winter

smoke has been an every summer occurrence for years now.

Not sure what's up with DVN reporting sites not showing smoke like the other cwas are.  It's been smoky as hell all day lol.

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).

Topped out at 93° at ORD and at MDW today.

Dropped to 78. Heat Advisory not cancelled yet, but now extended through tomorrow. Heat Advisory still in effect today is just too much hype.

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)

That's crazy bro I was literally pulling up here to post how I'm in Glendale Heights and will therefore be missing the very first direct bullseye of MBY so far this year. Hopefully @Chicago Storm comes through with the shelf pics later 

 

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.
