    Today once looked like it would hit 90-91, but instead cloud debris moved in and limited ORD to only 87. Tomorrow has the potential for mid-90's, but once again cloud debris may end up being an issue.
  2. Chicago Storm
    91 at ORD and MDW today.
  3. Chicago Storm
    92 ORD and 95 MDW today.
  4. Chicago Storm
    92 so far.

    93 at ORD and 92 MDW on the 4th.
  7. Chicago Storm
    91 MDW.

    PNT is back at it again... 90/80/108 currently.

    Looks like a daily chance of 90's and storms Tue-Thur around here.
  10. Chicago Storm
    94 at ORD and MDW today.

    The severe threat just isn’t going to work out around here today. I was optimistic leading in to today, but it’s pretty clear the lack of shear will mitigate any real threat. The main disturbance ended up rapidly push NE up towards Lake Superior today. What’s left is an outflow dominant line of storms.
  12. Chicago Storm
    For a while it looked like it might be close, but not it's looking more unlikely. Tue-Thur should be 90+ though still, with Thur being the warmest day.

    The main MCS was definitely a derecho.
  14. Chicago Storm
    SPC did a downright horrible job yesterday. Not only how they handled outlooks, but also watch issuance. Goes to show how reliant on CAM’s they are. CAM’s showed absolutely nothing yesterday, even while the even was unfolding. The HRRR really didn’t catch on until around noon in showing anything.

    Will revise to 92 for Sunday, given guidance has come back faster with the fropa now.
  16. Chicago Storm
    Classic ridge riding derecho today.
  17. Chicago Storm
    Right now I think I'll go 96 Fri/Sat/Sun for ORD, with a peak DP during the period of 78. Tomorrow has the coolest start out of the 3 days, but will feature by far the warmest UA temps. Sat/Sun have warmer starts, but cooling UA temps each passing day, and Sun has compressional heating potential with the front approaching. The wild cards will be the MCS/OFB/cloud debris potential for Fri, and then potential cloud debris issues on Sun as well.

    As of now it looks like 4 tors confirmed from yesterday. 1 near Hinckley, 2 near Manhattan and 1 near Rantoul. With better lapse rates and a bit more shear/CAPE, definitely could have been a much more significant event.
  19. Chicago Storm
    Looks like a ROM marginal risk day, unfortunately.
  20. Chicago Storm
    Looks like this season will come down to June. Given trends and what has happened thus far, one can't really be that excited, but we'll see...
  21. Chicago Storm
    There really wasn't any tor potential today...But I ended up drifting west for the heck of it this afternoon, and ended up on the supercell that moved near DKB. Encountered a lowering, though not much rotation. It did have some mid-level rotation at the time per radar though. Also picked up some dime size hail.
  22. Chicago Storm
    Decent CAPE/DP/Lapse Rates/Shear combo today, which should lead to scattered severe storms this afternoon/evening. Few OFB's around from overnight/morning activity as well.
  23. Chicago Storm
    As expected, tonight is not slight worthy. Tomorrow night and Monday look much more interesting.
  24. Chicago Storm
    I agree with elevated hailers for Saturday night, as well as tonight...but it’s more marginal worthy. .
  25. Chicago Storm
    The slight risk this far west is definitely overdone.
