    DBQ has actually never recorded a winter that failed to get below zero. Most winters will have at least a dozen nights below zero. Too bad you weren't there for the big cold in Jan 2019. DBQ got to -31 then.

    Do you have the actual number of people hospitalized or just the available beds? Because bed numbers can be increased.

    ORD is running greater than +8 through the first week of the month. The record warmest July was like +7.4. Will be interesting to see where it ends up. I certainly think it will be among the warmest Julys.

    Today's fatality count is going to look worse than it otherwise would have since we are not only coming off of a weekend, but a holiday as well.

    Where are you getting the obs?
  6. Hoosier
    Well defined boundary coming into ORD, so that is about it for the warming.

    The covid thread was a very good source of info (I had been popping in almost from the beginning) but the amount of shitposting picked up in recent weeks. I know the thread was a catch-all to discuss what was going on in other regions/countries besides New England, but at this point the situation is pretty well under control in New England. If things change, then perhaps there could be some reconsideration. For now, get out and enjoy summer as safely as possible.

    I'll go 95 at ORD. It is a hair warmer than yesterday at this time but have to allow for more clouds. Pretty high confidence in either 94 or 95, with an outside shot at 96.

    Enjoy your retirement and welcome back to da region.

    The thing is that the medical community has a better idea of how to treat the virus now compared to early on. Even the people in the higher risk groups should have a better chance of surviving now than they would have a few months ago.

    I guess we will be gaining a member in the Lakes/OV forum. You will make fun of us for how we handle heat but we will make fun of you for how you handle temps below zero.

    Wouldn't be surprised to see a day or two cooler than that. Regardless of the ultimate magnitude of the pullback, it does appear there will be a resurgence of the heat mid month.

    If you're going to sneak in a 90, Thursday may be the day. Warm start and perhaps a slightly stronger gradient to delay the lake breeze a little.

    Something to keep an eye on. My corner of the state hasn't been dry.
  15. Hoosier
    Already 90 at ORD.
  16. Hoosier
    You might make it through this stretch without any real heat at this rate. Usually there is a day or two with a stronger gradient out ahead of a low or something but not really seeing it at this point.

    Great fireworks in the area. Definitely seemed like more than usual. I think people bought em up with so many of the fireworks shows being cancelled.

    I remember toward the end of the Indy streak that there was a day where it looked like there was no way they were going to make it to 90 and yet they did. That was quite a run.

    One of my cousins (I think it's first cousin twice removed if I have the relationship right) has the virus. Works at a casino and had been at a bar so odds are he got it at one of those places. Has a fever but not doing bad overall, at least so far.

    19 days, in July 1901. You're welcome

    Case in point Longest official 90+ degree streak for Chicago: 11 days (4 times) Longest 90+ streak at O'Hare airport (records back to 1958): 10 days, 7/17/1987 through 7/26/1987 Longest 90+ streak at Midway airport (records back to 1928): 12 days, 7/6/1936 through 7/17/1936

    The historical heat streaks for Chicago are actually kind of pathetic. And it's not all explained by the official observation site being closer to the lake in early decades. Even when you look at farther inland observation sites like Midway and O'Hare, regardless of whether or not they were the official ob site at the time, the streaks aren't that impressive.
  23. Hoosier
    Most 90 degree days in a calendar month in Chicago is 19, set in July 1955 and July 1987. fwiw, the record longest 89+ degree streak (lol) is 13 days.
  24. Hoosier
    That would suck. Maybe should've stuck with my original feeling lol Hopefully there was a quick 90 intrahour before it dropped.

    We actually did get 850 mb temp of 30C on a RAOB from ILX (central Illinois) back in 2012. That was pretty amazing to see as 30C at 850 mb is basically unheard of east of the Mississippi River. We are taking notice of the models/ensembles. Even if the extreme heat doesn't materialize, the prolonged nature of temps near/above 90 looks very impressive. It's one thing to put together a big 90 degree stretch in St. Louis but another thing to do it in Chicago.
