tbh, i believe tomorrow will pale in comparison to last thursday in illinois. that's my hunch.
-
Can't get anyone to cover me tomorrow, so I'll be missing chasing this one, just as I missed last Thursday's event. Time for some reverse-jinxing to pull stuff north once again, to make it interesting locally.
-
The only thing is, this isn't a cool June. June is running +4.0 at ORD through the 14th.
-
First 90°+ day of the year on Wednesday at ORD and MDW, with a high of 91° at both locations. ...2026 90°+ Day Tally... 3 - ARR 1 - ORD 1 - MDW 1 - RFD 1 - PWK 1 - LOT 1 - UGN 0 - DPA

Ended up having a supercell quickly develop over DuPage County last evening, which then moved through ORD. There was a transient wall cloud at times with it as it approached from the southwest, as the storm interacted with an OFB and briefly tried to be interesting.
-
Janky LL lapse rates and a warm nose aloft will be the bullet in today in the favorable corridor.
-
sangamon county is in the watch. springfield can't be in the watch if sangamon county isn't.
-
Rapid recovery occurring across the southern half of the DVN CWA.
-
There's not a single 12z CAM that has a handle on evolution of the initial MCS.
-
Quite possibly. The latest HRRR already has a better handle, and never gets the WF back to even I-80.
-
I believe we will see some changes regarding expectations for today. Let the HRRR catch up to reality over the next few runs, and we’ll likely see a clearer and different picture painted.

it's a magical thing.

The forum will compress this picture to hell, but here was the view out of ORD as the line approached…

Peak wind gust of 73MPH at MDW.
-
Peak wind gust of 61MPH here at ORD.
-
the reverse jinx worked.
-
Numerous 70-90MPH wind reports in NE Iowa, NW Illinois and SW Wisconsin.
-
we'll try again tomorrow...
-
The HRRR is top tier for tomorrow around here, projecting 3 rounds of back-back-back severe clusters locally.
-
Very tropical environment…
-
there's been a signal for about a week now, favoring next week for a ridge to poke up into the region. i wouldn't say it'll be a heat-wave, but it looks to be deep summer-like.
