Chicago Storm

enlighten us as to what this means. .

western us must have shifted location after the 2011 japan earthquake. .

Hit 91 at ex home yesterday. 91 ORD and MDW today, and 92 at ex home. .

my best work, and i didn’t even have to say much. .

i was told the first several days of june will not feel like it should. .

98 Bismarck. .

Northern areas over-performing guidance by several degrees. 89 here, PWK, RFD and ENW currently, and 90 at JVL. .

Under. .

.

That 89 on Monday is the highest it’ll get all month though. .

needed some change. .

I’m not sold...Too many potential issues. This weekend/early next week will feature waves trapped between the two areas of main ridging, which will likely bring some precip/cloud issues. Then beyond early next week, how far north the ridging builds continues to be in question. And then add in that guidance has been terrible outside of 2 days out for months now. .

Streak is over. ORD finally had a TS overnight. .

When you’re right, you’re right. .

I wouldn’t be so sure yet. Tonight and Thursday could still throw a wrench into things. .

Go. .

On vacation this week, in the usual destination of St. Pete Beach... .

.

Time for record watch... Obviously still have 11 days to go in the month, but given how things have been and will continue to be for the near future, it’s worth watching. As of end of day today, ORD will sit at 2.43” of precip for spring 2021. Driest springs on record for Chicago: 1. 2.73” - 1887 2. 3.20” - 1934 3. 3.87” - 1994 4. 4.08” - 1886 5. 4.17” - 1885 .

Bump. About to roll into late May, and ORD still has yet to have a TS since mid-November of last year. .
