  1. Yea, I heard that from others that it was visible from a far distance. Lightning was prolific all night here. Not a ton of CG's though.
  2. Nice line segment pushed through early Tuesday night. It featured a 50-55mph winds here, a decent shelf cloud and decent lightning with it. It was severe warned, and there were a few branches down in the next town over, where a core of high velo's passed through.
  3. A few storms that develop across the area this evening had supercell characteristics and some rotation, one of which passed through here. Since then a nice train has set up, though slowly shifting north. Looks like some heavy rain/flood issues for the northern tier tonight.
  4. Met Summer 2018 was tied for the 14th warmest on record for Chicago, with an average temp of 74.7 August 2018 was tied for the 11th warmest on record, with an average of 76.3
  5. Ended up 89 at both ORD and MDW. The thick wildfire smoke overhead might have prevented 90.
  6. 89 ORD and 91 MDW yesterday. Seems like that 2-3" of rain that occurred at and around ORD on Wednesday knocked a few degrees off of highs there, compared other immediate metro sites.
  7. Outflow and light rains just west of ORD have dropped temps back into the mid 70's, so it likely won't make it.
  8. That was a terrible watch issuance. One of the worst I've seen in years.
  9. Unexpected MCS pushing into NW. IL might be a big issue for this...
  10. Topped out at 94 at ORD and 95 and MDW today.
  11. It should hold, as it looks like storms should stay away from SE. WI until very late tonight.
  12. 91 at ORD thus far. There has been a lot of cloud debris all day, and an OFB that moved through earlier. Looks like more clearing mid-late afternoon, so there will be a chance for a late rally.
  13. Topped out at 97 at ORD and 96 and MDW today. Thicker cirrus that moved in this afternoon might have knocked 1F off potential highs.
  14. Up to 97 at ORD now. We’re just about at maximum heating potential given UA temps and mixing levels, so should flatline shortly. Cirrus cloud debris will be moving in shortly as well.
  15. It’s up to 95 at ORD. Somehow PWK is 97.
  16. 91 now. Clouds shouldn’t be an issue until later in the afternoon as it looks like now. I’ll revise to 97 today, 95 tomorrow and 90 on Monday.
  17. Mondays looks to hold some potential. Looks like the best frontal timing and the most UL flow for the LOT CWA since May. We'll see how it trends the next few days...
  18. Looks like the 90's make a return this weekend... I'll go 95 Sat/Sun and 90 Mon. Cloud debris could be an issue each day, and Mon could have storm issues...So none of the days are super high confidence.
