  1. July is running at 79.7° for Chicago, which is 5.8° above average. If the month ended today, it would be the 4th warmest July on record. .
  2. This current period was more that I was just jonesing for it, along with the week+ out phantom death heat wave on guidance. In this case, we are just a few days out now and the overall idea is supported very well by a nicely -PNA. Plus, there’s a significant difference as you can see below, from this current period to compared to the weekend. .
  3. High amount of support for a shorter duration heat wave to impact the region once again, in the Fri-Mon timeframe. Unlike this current mid-month period that has generally favored the Ohio River region for sustained hot temps, due to a more zonal flow and elongated ridge...This upcoming period will feature a nicely -PNA, which will aide in developing a quality/strong ridge...nearly 597DM on some guidance. .
  4. Yesterday was great. Should also point out there is high agreement on another flux northward of the heat for next weekend...That's still a week out through obviously.
  5. Indeed, the weekend flux northward for northern areas definitely fell short in terms of temps...Though high DP's and high HI's did pan out yesterday. Areas further south, from last week through this upcoming week, will be the winners this go around.
  6. From worst to first. HRRR was horrid last night, but it easily the closest to reality this evening.
  7. 91 ORD (18), 91 MDW (14) and 89'd here today.
  8. It's be close. 79 at ARR, LOT and JOT. 80 just outside the metro, at DKB.
  9. There is not a single piece of guidance that has a handle on the current situation over the region.
  10. Make that 90/78/105. Highest DP and HI of the year still.
  11. 90/86/119 AWG, which pretty much is at a tiny airport in a corn field.
  12. 89/76/101 ORD. Highest HI and DP of the year.
  13. Based on temps out west in IA and south in IL, 95 probably would have even been hard to accomplish at ORD.
  14. In IA... 88/81/105 MXO, 90/84/115 AWG and FFL.
  15. HRRR failed miserably last night, and will be doing so yet again tonight. .
  16. Widespread mid-upper 70's DP's across the area. Highest is 79 at RPJ.
  17. ARW/NMM/NSSL all bring in a fading MCS later, so that's likely the route to go. Not expecting any severe threat with it at all.
  18. And just like that, it's steadily fading now.
