Picked up 0.03" this evening. Additional storms ended up firing up, but they all skirted us here.
-
Looks like tonight's Iowa sloppy seconds are even worse than I thought they'd be. They've really crapped the bed in the past half hour. Guess we'll try again maybe next week.
-
Yeah 97-98 is okay, but it's kind of like only getting 4-5" of snow when you wanted a warning criteria event lol.
-
Only 95 at MLI/DVN, 93 here today. A forgettable heat wave for this area.
-
Not in our sub, but the parade of sups along I-80 in Nebraska is quite impressive. Also a gigantic sup in western IA blowing out some very high winds this evening. Looks like it's gonna rake a nice long stretch through central IA in the next few hours.
-
And it's in the upper 70s in Rochelle and Dekalb.
-
Today really illustrates how impressive that heat wave was back in mid May. Today could only match what we achieved a whole month ago.
-
DVN had a low of 80 this morning, and MLI had a heat index of 90 at 3am.
-
Man, I had a pretty bad feeling as that sup was getting going. It really had that look to it like it was going to do something special. Definitely glad it didn't, as the path it took would have been quite unfortunate to say the least. If I could hand draw a radar image of a doomsday tornado scenario for Chicago, I don't know if I could have drawn a much more scarier image than what that radar was showing there for a bit when the sup was out by Streamwood.
-
Still think there's a slight chance, but not as enthused about it as yesterday. What I meant by bust was if it doesn't hit 100 it's just kind of eh. We've already hit 96-97, so 98-99 doesn't really do much for me lol. Still impressive/significant, but gotta get those triples to excite me at this point. MLI has a heat index of 92 at midnight. Don't know how peeps survived this before AC.
-
Looking forward to our usual Iowa sloppy seconds Wednesday night.
-
100 is looking in question now for this area. Euro knocked a few degrees off of both tomorrow and Wed. Today's temps underachieved a bit as well, so this little heat wave may end up being kinda meh for here. 100 or bust.
-
Yeah it looks like it's on verge just north of Hangover park. Very close to Chicago Storms ol' stomping grounds.
-
Thing is really cranking aloft. Got 65-70kts of inflow up around 10kft. Looks to be organizing still.
-
Tops now up to 62kft. Beast.
-
Yeah. I'm not one to hyberbole too much, but if there was a setup that could do that...
-
Nice. Looks like there's an OFB out ahead of it as well.
-
Already a broad area of rotation on that large Elgin sup. Tops over 54kft now as well.
-
Those storms are already getting that look to them. If I was chasing I'd want to be on them very shortly.
-
Dew hit 80 earlier, also at MLI. Temps only made it to 93 though at both locations as clouds obstructed the max potential.
-
Yeah interesting setup. Two MCVs heading on what looks like a collision course. Should make for a pretty interesting storm complex later today as it bends southeastward. Dew at 54 atm.
-
Dew has dropped 13 degrees from earlier, down to 59 now. Very dry air up in northeastern IL with most locations in the 40s. May dip into the lower 50s here later tonight. We could see dews go from the low 50s around sunrise to near 80 by early to mid afternoon. Incredible change.
-
Think we have a great shot at hitting 100 not only Tue, but Wed now as well. Euro has backed off on the cloud potential Wed for this region, and it could end up being as hot as Tue. Dews look like they'll only be in the upper 60s/low 70s, which should make the run at 100 more doable. Tomorrow may have the highest heat index though, with 96-98 type temps, and dews AOA 75.
-
Didn't realize it was going to be so humid here today. Dews have been in the 72-73 range. Much drier air blows in from northeast IL this evening, but the high humidity quickly springs back in tomorrow.
