Currently got the line in central wisconsin going straight south toward Chicagoland. May not be out of the woods just yet

Lighting up

From Mike Caplan Chicago Meteorologist: This is incredible. AQI of 549 in downtown Chicago at 1pm

Hands down the strongest I have smelled wildfire smoke in Chicago area. Glad I opted to do my run indoors this morning

Brining me back to 2014-16 summer times. Love it

Lots of discussion concerning ring of fire pattern setting up with this heatwave coming through. Honestly feeling like we'll get missed north this time around

Still a lot of summer left. Hoping you snag a great, closer chase

Likely strong tornado ongoing in IA heading toward southwest/west wisconsin

Does anyone have any good examples of when the warm front has advanced far north in just a few hours i.e. low central IL to far N IL? It feels like more often than not models will suggest this can happen but often it just stalls or barely retreats north.

Little under 48 hours out looks like a thread the needle event for areas of DuPage and Cook near the city. Will be incredibly fast storm motion

I want to believee

TORE now. Unbelievable.

So clearly defined. Haven't seen a clear, detached debris ball like that in a while. Nothing much else impeding it either in the near term outside of the two small cells to its southeast

Lots of chasers reporting VERY strong winds leading to quick recovery. Will see how much that affects Chicagoland area but do think we recover some compared to previous crapvection days
