Ended up 89 at both ORD and MDW. The thick wildfire smoke overhead might have prevented 90.
-
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.
-
Outflow and light rains just west of ORD have dropped temps back into the mid 70's, so it likely won't make it.
-
That was a terrible watch issuance. One of the worst I've seen in years.
-
Unexpected MCS pushing into NW. IL might be a big issue for this...
-
Topped out at 94 at ORD and 95 and MDW today.
-
It should hold, as it looks like storms should stay away from SE. WI until very late tonight.
-
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.
-
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.
-
PWK up to 98/99 now...somehow.
-
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.
-
It’s up to 95 at ORD. Somehow PWK is 97.
-
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.

2018 Short to Medium Range Severe Thread
Chicago Storm replied to tornadohunter's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
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... -
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.

The OBS site was moved this year...There is also construction in the vicinity, with the further development of Route 390 and the early development of I-490.

As mentioned above in the stats from LOT... July 2018 was the 7th driest July on record for Chicago, with 1.11" of precip. Driest Julys On Record: 1. 0.22" - 1936 2. 0.42" - 1934 3. 0.58" - 1874 4. 0.60" - 1894 5. 1.05" - 1887 6. 1.10" - 1941 7. 1.11" - 2018 8. 1.29" - 1940 9. 1.32" - 1991 10. 1.33" - 1945

90 ORD and 89 MDW today. It ended up getting warmer than pretty much any guidance showed.

Spring/Summer 2018 Banter and Complaint Office
Chicago Storm replied to IWXwx's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
One of my favorite fails by them. -
OFB and storm timing was key in preventing a higher hourly OBS, no doubt.
