  1. This wx is about as bad as it gets for May. Temp is stuck in the 40s with rain and gusty winds. It's gonna feel like about 105 on Tuesday after dealing with this stuff.
  2. For LOT area, Euro seems to have backed off to some extent with the cooling that it had been showing after Tuesday. Will be curious to see if ORD can put together a respectable 80+ degree streak by May standards.
  3. Any easterly wind component whatsoever is going to knock temps back a lot near the western shore of Lake Michigan, especially with northward extent since the distance traveled over water is greater. It is what it is.
  4. In the words of Yogi Berra, it gets late early.
  5. 12z Euro actually has a couple spots of 80 degree dews at 132 hrs. I hesitate to use the word impossible when it comes to weather, but I will this time. Impossible. No way.
  6. While the temps will be noteworthy and pretty impressive for this time of year, I think what will make this stand out from most other May heat spells is the heat/humidity combo. Without checking in detail, I'm going to guess that most other May heat spells have not been accompanied by dews like what are progged.
  7. LOT has been mentioning the possibility of some health concerns in their afds due to the combination of such cool wx followed by unusually warm/humid wx. The wording raised an obvious question in my mind. Are they actually floating the idea behind the scenes of bending the criteria that much and issuing a heat advisory for heat indices that are in the 90s? It would kind of be like issuing a winter storm warning for an early 2-4" just because it's the first snow.
  8. I think there's a reasonable chance that we see 90 in the LOT cwa next week. I could certainly see it happening at a place like MDW, if it's not more widespread...
  9. LOT already has mid 80s in the forecast for next Tuesday. That is impressive for a week out.
  10. I think our guy from WI is suffering from some ptsd -- post traumatic spring disorder... characterized by extreme skepticism that true spring or even summerlike warmth is on the way next week due to the fact that spring has been cool thus far.
  11. The progged dewpoints are crazy as you alluded to. Would be more likely to see that at the end of May or in June.
  12. Today is actually tolerable. The temp is on the cool side but not having hurricane force winds makes a big difference.
  13. Really all you need is a window of warmer temps to have some severe opportunity, even at this time of year. Maybe it's not as ideal as a pattern that is not so cool in the means though.
  14. That 4/18 pic looks like it's straight outta January. Maybe it helps that we can't see pavement. Did it stick on the pavement that day?
  15. Didn't you enjoy the minutes of filtered sun yesterday?
  16. That Oak Brook storm is now listed as tornado in the LSR. Edit: apparently already surveyed. EF-0 with a path length just under 2 miles long. Also had a 2nd EF-0 tornado in the LOT cwa.
  17. I noticed the temp is creeping up here even being socked in with clouds. Advection at work.
  18. This month will be better than April by default. Average temps going up is a nice thing to have.
  19. It's not a small area under threat. The corridor of backed flow + instability is/will be hundreds of miles wide, though the overlap region is a bit narrow at a given time. I'm sure there will be some severe wx.
