    ORD has jumped from 69° to 75° to 82° the last 3 hours. 86° at MDW as of 8AM.

    ORD bottomed out at 65° last night/this morning, and is ‘only’ up to 69° as of 6AM. Looks like the warm front was kicked back south a bit across N IL overnight. Will be interesting to see how hot it gets and how accurate the HRRR is with a 98/99° high temp there for today. Can’t imagine there are many days around here that have started in the mid-upper 60’s, and finished near 100°.

    I keep forgetting a bit that there was that mid-May heat wave, as I wasn’t around for it. I’d obviously take any heat, but I do get your point. Just don’t get 99’d.

    For Hoosier…

    Highest wind gust on record for Chicago is 87MPH, set on 2/12/1894. Tying the ORD high wind gust record is quality though.
  6. Chicago Storm
    I'll go 95 ORD and 98 MDW for tomorrow.

    Was probably never realistically going to hit 100 out there anyway. The Euro was off it's rocker with the more widespread 100's, with unreasonable mixing. STL was the 100 or bust location, and they did manage to hit it today...With two more shots to go, to better that number.

    84MPH wind gust at ORD.

    I’m on the tor warned supercell. I had wrapping rain curtains near my former home. Will go back and check for damage after chase.

    MKE took a direct hit, but the best they did was G36MPH and 0.50" hail. Edit: Peak wind gust 59MPH more towards the back end of the storm.
  11. Chicago Storm
    They updated to 2.00"
  12. Chicago Storm
    Almost all of the MKE metro looks get pick up some hail, largest being downtown and southern suburbs.
  13. Chicago Storm
    doa for different reasons. MKE is 63/59 and about to get rolled.

    The dual MCV’s are a lost cause at this point.
  16. Chicago Storm
    Looks like activity will generally be limited to MI/NE IN/OH, with development that occurs much later today. The pair of MCV’s that have been of focus are poorly timed and will have ended up tracking on an unfavorable trajectory to be useful. Would expect to see some fairly significant adjustments in the next two SPC SWODY1 updates.

    Not in our sub-forum, but there was a heat-burst with the small MCS/MCV in KS not too long ago. Oakley, KS (KOEL) peaked at 94/29 with a 56MPH wind gust.

    There is not one CAM that has a handle on the situation as of the 0z runs.
  19. Chicago Storm
    CAMS are struggling significantly right now, especially the 3KM NAM.
  20. Chicago Storm
    And if there is not an MCS tomorrow.
  21. Chicago Storm
    I’ll go with a peak of 96 ORD and 98 MDW for this period. However, if any appreciable convective activity occurs across the area on Monday, I’ll knock that back to 94 ORD and 96 MDW.
  22. Chicago Storm
    monday is your one and only shot.
  23. Chicago Storm
    The only one that has a shot to me is Wednesday’s record high, which as you mention is “only” 95°.
  24. Chicago Storm
    Prior to today I would have said it would be dry, but more recent guidance is trying to resolve an MCV that originates from Front Range convection on Sunday. This MCV then moves east and rounds the ridge into the area for Monday. That solution is likely the only way we see much of anything in the area.
