With all the talk about ORD high temps, they actually beat MDW yesterday... 86 to 85.
-
^cue Jack Nicholson nodding as I have the drought monitor on standby
-
Looks like more heat in about 1 week.
-
Thursday's record high minimum at ORD was broken by 8 degrees. Also, the back to back lows of 74 on the 11th and 12th is the earliest occurrence of such, beating out June 4-5 (1925)

2022 Short/Medium Range Severe Weather Discussion
Hoosier replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
This sounds out of place every time it's brought up. What a crazy anomalous historic event it was. -
I wonder if it's really cold biased or if it's moreso that it lost the warm bias that it had on daytime highs. Chi Storm would remember better than me but I believe there was a period of time where there was a lot of construction happening around the ob site. I think the ob location also moved to a different location on the airport grounds, so maybe that is a factor?
-
Had to lol at the way that was worded.
-
MDW hit 95. Will have to wait for the final number for ORD but it'll either be 91 or 92 (92 would tie the record)
-
May 2000 was good for me too. Got blasted on May 8 (I think) with some very high winds and then had another good storm on the 18th. In the latter case, I was sitting in a drive-thru when it went tornado warned. Nasty looking green sky. Didn't produce a tornado but had some good winds and hail.
-
Impressive stats. To add to this, this looks like it's going to be the earliest back to back occurrence of 70+ degree lows on record for Chicago. The previous earliest happened on May 17/18 a couple of times. Not only back to back 70, but it may be back to back lows of 74 which is obviously more impressive.
-
Barring something unforseen, Thursday's record high min for Chicago might get demolished.
-
Looks like I will get to enjoy a drier airmass tomorrow as the moisture axis sort of contracts westward. It will still be hot though.
-
Yeah, this heat/humidity combo is more anomalous. We can't put it in the same league as the total freakshow in March 2012, but it's still going to be memorable. I'd maybe rank it alongside something like the late September 2017 heat wave.
-
Most exciting weather iyby since the 2020 derecho?
-
High of 90 at ORD, which broke the daily record of 89 from 1982. As long as it doesn't drop below 70 before 1 AM CDT (the climate day ends at 1 AM since we're on CDT now), the daily record high min from 1881 will be broken too.
-
The lake cooling doesn't seem to have a lot of teeth so far away from the area near the shore. ORD and MDW both have decent easterly winds and yet they are both hovering near 90.
-
ORD has hit 90 for the first time in 2022, making it the earliest one since it hit 90 on May 10, 2011.

Been there with those covid shots. Not very pleasant. Feel better soon. You should. That's the good thing... the effects usually pass within a day or two. -
I found Wiz some CAPE
-
If we had this same airmass in July, I'm sure there would be widespread 80+ dews. I'm repeating myself but to pull this off without a crop assist and a lagged leafout that has not reached its full maturity is something.
-
There are some rogue AWOS sites in Iowa with dews in the low 80s right now. I don't think they are legitimate based on surrounding sites having more of a T/Td spread with similar wind speeds (implying similar mixing) but either way, this is some extremely impressive stuff as there are legitimate dewpoint readings in the mid to upper 70s in the region.
-
Gonna depend on how pronounced the lake cooling is at ORD. That is going to give them a "head start" with cooling off later on.

DVN pulled the trigger on a heat advisory.
