Chicago Storm

96 ORD (20), 95 MDW (16) and here (19) today.

96/75/108 at home currently. .

Insider access. .

105 is the criteria. Many areas are around or above that. That day a week or so ago had an advisory, and today needed one as well. .

It’s up to 97 at ORD now. Edit: Did my C to F conversion incorrectly. Was actually 96 at this time.

Up to 95 at ORD. CU field has rapidly grown, but 96/97 should still be in the cards.

93 ORD as of noon OBS. .

Was just about to mentioned this. Currently on pace with the day earlier in July that hit 96. That day had earlier CU development, today may have little until later. .

Only got down to 77 at ORD last night/this morning.

On point. 92 here. #19 at ORD.

Probably won’t hit 90°, but it’s gonna be several degrees off...per usual. .

Doesn’t matter. As long as there is no enforcing it, it doesn’t matter much. .

Still not any different than before. Sat/Sun are easily 90+, and Fri/Mon are still wildcard days. .

MCV’s have produced well this season in the region. .

Classic miss just south look for t'storms with the front on Monday.

Good catch there. Looks like record most 90+ days in July there is 26 days (1930), so definitely within reach. Also, the longest 90+ streak on record is 22 days (6/23-7/14/1966), which is likely to be tied or broken.

I'm headed out west to the usual destination of White Pines State Park for camping this weekend as well. I don't think there has ever been one time I've gone where it wasn't hot, humid and stormy...and this time around looks no different.

Pretty much. Even though this mid-month period coming to an end has produced hot temps and quite a string of 90+ days in the OV, there hasn't been anything hotter than the mid 90's in this region. Speaking of streaks, today is the 19th consecutive 90+ day at PAH.

Thought we were getting STL climo? That's still good for some 100's.

i read this as, “it’s patriotic”. .

Side note...There should be decent t’storm chances (we’ll see about severe) in the region Sun-Wed, as the ridge breaks down and shifts west. .

Pretty much, overall. He just has the imby blinders on. .

Euro is solid 90’s Sat/Sun, with wildcard days on Fri/Mon. Convective debris isn’t an issue until Mon, given ridge orientation. GFS is solid 90’s that 4 day stretch. I’m not forcing anything, the overall pattern with a quality -PNA supports the stronger ridge development into our area. Mid month worked out as expected in the Ohio Valley. Outside of for the push this past weekend, guidance had jumped ship for our area for the mid-month period several days out. if anything is being forced, it’s your overestimation of how cool it’s been iyby.

Must be losing your eye sight at your old age. .

Look who is on the mask bandwagon now. lulz .
