  1. Any of you on twitter should follow Philippe - he posts some great weather weenie material.
  2. Could be an enhanced wind threat in western parts of the area later this afternoon and evening. That potent upper low in the Dakotas will drag the EML into IA, MO and IL and likely result in a bowing line or two later on.
  3. Check out the lake-enhanced instability off LE and LM this morning. Pretty wild for July. Might get what CLE is getting now in Chicago tomorrow morning as the next upper low passes by to the south.
  4. Hope so. Tourists are back at Willis Tower today. Fortunately, everyone I saw in line was wearing a mask properly.
  5. IL ramping back up now, too. Numbers from these states that opened early should've been the first clue that this would happen. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/coronavirus/illinois-reports-highest-daily-number-of-coronavirus-cases-in-more-than-a-month/2303179/
  6. hey look, a couple of internet dweebs questioning globally-recognized scientists on a weather forum.
  7. Definitely looking like moisture will be able to pool near and south of whatever quasi-stationary front is in the region later next week. 12Z Euro has heat indices 105-115 w/ that. Usually the 588dm height line is a reasonable estimate for the ring of fire, latest EPS means suggest the delay in more widespread heat, too. Wet weather next week in the Corn Belt would definitely support the 75-80+ degree dewpoints if such a pattern materializes.
  8. haha, given how close the lake breeze stayed to the coast today, I think we're seeing some of the influence of that warmer water on the southern end of LM.
  9. Why? Not saying you’re wrong, but this is all noise given it’s a week+ away. Its ensembles still have some support throughout the Lakes and OV, just going to be mitigated some days in northern areas by occasional MCSs.
  10. Nice...definitely getting into ring of fire, possible derecho, season with that potent e-w ridge over the CONUS. Just looking at the overall pattern, you're going to have some faster mid-level flow with how strong the ridge is and any energy that runs over the top.
  11. boundarypalooza out there ahead of our mcv. pretty good evidence the lake breeze will kick some off this afternoon before the main show later in the day, too.
  12. Could be interesting given how warm the Great Lakes will be. On the flip side, the near-shore areas may be too warm for LES in the early season events, plus warm water in the summer/fall does not necessarily correlate to high seasonal snowfall.
  13. Similar to what happened in NYC, at-home deaths are seeing a spike in TX. Hard to know how much of this is people afraid to go to the ER/doc vs. true COVID-19 deaths, but it's still alarming.
  14. 00z Euro shows widespread triple-digit heat later next week throughout the sub-forum.
  15. More new details about the potential long-term effects are super concerning for those of us who've had the virus already.
  16. Nice cold pool with the WI activity, should roll into Chicagoland about the time it starts to weaken.
  17. You know the Lake is warm when you get a noticeable bump in humidity behind the lake breeze front.
  18. Looks to be a little bit higher threat for a few thunderstorms in the region this afternoon, with the lake breeze slowly moving inland and a weak disturbance now in NW IA/SW MN. Storm motions will be <10KT so the few who get rain may get a good/brief soaking.
  19. I'm not 100% sure, but dew points haven't been especially high during the hottest parts of the day so far.
  20. same for ORD...4-5F too cool on 2m temps most of the summer.
  21. Quite the coast-to-coast ridge on today's ensembles on/around d10-15. Seeing widespread 5940+ heights in the EPS means is impressive - GEFS below not as crazy.
