Chicago Storm

i don’t know why they even issue outlooks. they just look at a classic ENSO map and plot it.

I'm in an "I'll believe it when I see it" mindset in regards to that. Hopefully it occurs at some point, though... As we all know there is a good handful of tors that have most definitely been EF-5 through the years.

i think you underestimate how many normies enjoy fall weather. you're looking at it from the perspective of jonesing for interesting weather, where-as regulars do not care about that.

Some locations were able to sneak in a couple of early October 90°'s this past weekend. MDW was one of those locations, with a high of 90° on Friday. ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 31 - MDW 29 - ARR 28 - DPA 28 - PWK 27 - ORD 22 - LOT 20 - RFD 19 - UGN

The EF-5-less streak is over…

don’t fall for that social media post going around. that’s just the crops fading and being harvested. literally looks like that every year around this time.

September 2025 finished tied as the 7th driest September on record for Chicago. Driest September's 1. 0.01" - 1979 2. 0.26" - 2004 3. 0.31" - 1940 4. 0.32" - 2017 4. 0.32" - 1891 6. 0.46" - 1956 7. 0.49" - 2025 7. 0.49" - 1939 9. 0.74" - 1871 10. 0.77" - 1962

Some locations were able to sneak in a rare late September 90°+ day on Monday. MDW was one of those locations, with a high of 90° on Monday. I said this a week ago, so we'll see if it sticks this time... We are likely done for the year with 90°+ days, so the below will likely be the final overall tally for the year. ...2025 90°+ Day Tally... 30 - MDW 28 - DPA 28 - PWK 27 - ORD 27 - ARR 22 - LOT 20 - RFD 17 - UGN

Probably the most significant pattern change we've seen in a while is on the horizon... We're going to replace the constant re-loading +EPO with a re-loading -EPO and -PNA. This will likely will lead to a more active weather pattern than we've seen (That's not hard to do) and more of an up/down temperature regime, with some shots of real fall conditions.

ENS keep a re-loading a +EPO for the rest of the month. If nothing else were to factor in, that would keep the mild/warm temps in place.

so, you’re not a bot.

nelson is like one of the most chill people here. so, to say he’s annoying is super lol. definitely a projection there.
