  1. Under-mixing. It always seems to be the issue in these set-ups. Edit: Looks like the 0z and 12z HRRR 'only' had a high of 91, so it seems overzealous DVN was just being its usual self.
  2. It's unfortunate that the ridge center trended east over the past several days. We could have had a shot at 100 locally with it better positioned further west, and we also likely would have prolonged the heat wave as well prior to ROF potential.
  3. speaking of... https://x.com/McMillinWx/status/2071645751982141741
  4. Ignore the horrid forum upload compression, but another quality look from ORD this evening as that hybrid supercell moved in.
  5. i came here hoping to see this...didn't let me down. most of the time there's watch collab, so may be the spc or lot.
  6. nothing beats a beach nap under a cabana with a light ocean breeze.
  7. Thanks for posting that. It gives a good visual of the trends over time. It also reminds me that we're due for a clunker.
  8. the 2026 illinois tornado total was at 134 prior to yesterday. combine yesterday with last thursday’s info still incomplete, and we’re probably right at the record currently.
  9. 134 prior to today, and with info not yet completed from last thursday.
  10. the reverse jinx is strong around here.
  11. it's already about to move out of the new warning too. ilx has been struggling all day.
  12. they got duped. most, if not all of that, is contamination.
  13. they might want to do another check on observations (radar, satellite, surface obs), because it is definitely over north of us24.
  14. not this time, that was a real call for a change.
  15. one of the worst md’s and watches from them this year, maybe the worst. totally uncalled for.
  16. G78MPH in Cedar Rapids with the bow.
  17. tbh, i believe tomorrow will pale in comparison to last thursday in illinois. that's my hunch.
  18. 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.
  19. The only thing is, this isn't a cool June. June is running +4.0 at ORD through the 14th.
  20. 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
  21. 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.
  22. Janky LL lapse rates and a warm nose aloft will be the bullet in today in the favorable corridor.
  23. sangamon county is in the watch. springfield can't be in the watch if sangamon county isn't.
