Chicago Storm

Lastly, overall stats... Warmest summer on record, along with a top 10 warmest June/July/August and a top 10 driest August as well.

Looks more like it ended up <0.15" for most of the area. The exception being that narrow swath you mentioned, which looks to have stayed along/south of I-80...0.50-1.50" there.

High temps... More noteworthy overall than low temps from the previous post. The amount of days with 85+ highs and 80+ highs was towards the top of the list each month. Record most 85+ and 80+ days in a summer, and 10th most 90+ days in summer.

Gonna end up with <0.10" for most areas.

Will start with low temps... A few top 10's and top 5's occurred with with a few of the stats. Most interesting/noteworthy was the amount of days 70+ low temps and the 3rd most days with 65+ lows on record, both for summer overall.

Gonna split things in multiple posts by lows, highs and monthly/seasonal...

I have a ton of stats I’ve compiled, which will be posted tomorrow. I’m sure Hoosier will have stuff to add as well. .

The MLI total is incorrect, due to the sensor going out during the derecho.

Ended up missing it, with a 79. Tomorrow will do it though.

0.61" of rain here since July 30th. 0.89" at ORD during that same period.

It indeed was, but there are many more as well. .

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. .
