    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.
  8. cyclone77
    Yeah it looks like it's on verge just north of Hangover park. Very close to Chicago Storms ol' stomping grounds.
  9. cyclone77
    Thing is really cranking aloft. Got 65-70kts of inflow up around 10kft. Looks to be organizing still.
  10. cyclone77
    Tops now up to 62kft. Beast.
  11. cyclone77
    Yeah. I'm not one to hyberbole too much, but if there was a setup that could do that...
  12. cyclone77
    Nice. Looks like there's an OFB out ahead of it as well.
  13. cyclone77
    Already a broad area of rotation on that large Elgin sup. Tops over 54kft now as well.
  14. cyclone77
    Those storms are already getting that look to them. If I was chasing I'd want to be on them very shortly.
  15. cyclone77
    Dew hit 80 earlier, also at MLI. Temps only made it to 93 though at both locations as clouds obstructed the max potential.
  16. cyclone77
    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.
  17. cyclone77
    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.
  18. cyclone77
    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.
  19. cyclone77
    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.
  20. cyclone77
    Whoever is supposed to draw the map musta got caught in traffic on lunch
  21. cyclone77
    Yeah not sure why we are in it, gonna be hot and capped here. Not a very good day2 for DVN area to be sure. Sunny and 95+ here, with distant anvils on northeast horizon.

    Nice lightning display this evening. Picked up 0.16" here. Down in the QC many areas picked up a quick half inch to inch of rain along with 40-50mph winds/pea hail.
  24. cyclone77
    There's been some indication that clouds could co ck block max heat potenial here in western IL Wed. Hot temps are for sure, but making it beyond the mid 90s is still in question. Tuesday looks like our best shot at 100 here in the QCA, although even Monday could make 97-99.
  25. cyclone77
    DVN has already been at 97 this year, and here and at MLI we've hit 96. This doesn't look as exciting as it would be given we've already had some intense heat, so the only thing that will be of excitement is if we can make triple digits this time.
