Chicago Storm

Make that 90/78/105. Highest DP and HI of the year still.

90/77/103 ORD currently.

90/86/119 AWG, which pretty much is at a tiny airport in a corn field.

89/76/101 ORD. Highest HI and DP of the year.

Based on temps out west in IA and south in IL, 95 probably would have even been hard to accomplish at ORD.

In IA... 88/81/105 MXO, 90/84/115 AWG and FFL.

88/81/105 SQI

HRRR failed miserably last night, and will be doing so yet again tonight. .

Widespread mid-upper 70's DP's across the area. Highest is 79 at RPJ.

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.

And just like that, it's steadily fading now.

Struggling to maintain, with shear lacking and best flow north. This is probably the best it'll get.

zzz

90 ORD(17) today. 88 MDW and 89 here. .

Combo of shallow mixing to only 900mb and widespread CU development had put 90+ in question for today. However, CU is clearing out a bit, so a rally to tag 90 is still in play. .

Solid support for a weakening MCS to move in very early Sunday morning around here. However, I'm not sold on anything more than a marginal worthy severe threat.

ILX doing a horrific job with warnings this afternoon. They have now had two tornadoes go un-warned, and both storms had good couplets.

An lol worthy tiny tor watch... .

Severe threat will easily miss south of the area the rest of today, but rain/t’storms congealing across DVN and ILX CWA’s will spread across the area this evening. Without widespread/heavier/training t’storms, amounts should be kept in check though, unless south of I-80. .

lol @ thinking egotistical is name calling or a stereotype. .

Unless you're going into a place (store, restaurant, etc) that absolutely requires it, very few are wearing masks consistently around here anymore.

Fri and especially Sat will be in the 90’s either way. Probably at least mid 90’s on Sat. Sun would be in question, but even the Euro and it’s MCS solution has 90’s then as well.

I definitely think we are in play for an MCS or two that forms in MN and vicinity, to make it in during the Sat night to Mon morning timeframe. But that idea on the Euro of having a complex push SSW from Northern-Lower MI is not gonna happen in a solid zonal W-E pattern. .

Easy toss... Unless 2020 works some magic. .

To me Sun is probably the hottest day...though could even end up being Sat. By Mon the flex northward of the ridge starts breaking down, with storm chances greatly increasing. Sun could be a good candidate, with the warmest UA temps expected...Though storm activity could end up not too far to the north, or even in the area. If Sun or Mon is indeed hottest day(s), I agree ORD will surpass the season hottest of 96. If above issues come into play, it’s not happening. Also add in any precip as a issue, which could be significant, over the next several days.
