Chicago Storm

Not in September. Has always been a zzz month. .

for sure. .

94 at ORD (31), 94 at MDW (25) and 94 here (29) today. .

ORD definitely has been running warmer than MDW, generally with high temps and monthly averages. I can confirm that there is no sensor issue...However, as like in 2012 it could be attributed to renewed construction in the vicinity of the ASOS.

Warmest summer on record looks like just about a lock. Have a bunch of stats coming within the next few days.

Generally one of the most zzz weather months of the year.

rollin' alek style is much easier though. since you have a gun to my back though... Whichever of the two potential scenarios for today ended up occurring, ENH wasn't gonna pan out around here. Scenario 1 was the overnight/morning MCS cleared out much earlier, allowing for development along the front, with a favored narrow corridor for decent severe in SE MN/SW WI/E IA/NW IL. Scenario 2 is what we are in now, where the morning MCS sustained long enough, with widespread debris and an altered environment across a large area ahead of the front. Either way ENH into the LOT CWA was comical and way too bullish, with it all along looking like a marginal worthy threat around here...and for much of the region as well.

Increasing chance many areas see a dry fropa. .

Still doesn’t look good. SPC looking to add to their list of failure. .

95 ORD (30), 95 MDW (24) and 94 here (28) today. .

I noticed it was thinner yesterday, but as you said...it’s pretty much nonexistent today. .

kitchener sounds worse than cedar rapids now. .

Fairly large difference...

Have been getting a lot of yellowing leaves and leaf drop from trees the past week or so, likely due to the dry and hot conditions combo. Lawn is browned out too. (insert aleks lol @ lawns)

Too much cloud cover.

i can't put myself through it again. 2x trying was more than enough.

i don't know how people can eat that egg drop soup nonsense. looks like sludge in a bowl.

Those of us that got nada will disagree. .

just a lot of potential waiting in the offing. .

Tomorrow is definitely not enhanced risk worthy as it looks. .

sandy forever and always, in our hearts. .

Low of 78 at ORD. .

and lol at whoever thinks it was a good post. .

my eyes were bleeding after reading that. .
