    ORD broke the record with a high of 94. MDW also hit 94, and 95 here. .
  3. Chicago Storm
    For around here it looks like mostly a miss north for tonight, and then a miss south for tomorrow. .
  4. Chicago Storm
    Record for Chicago is “only” 92 (1944). It would probably be likely in play, but given ORD sensor issues, might be harder to attain than usual. .

    The ‘rona is old news. Riot watch now. .
  6. Chicago Storm
    Next week/next weekend alone will ensure it’s not a dry month. .

    Just got a new PWS, and set it up online as well. Been a long time coming. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KILSTREA32 .

    Most has missed ORD and the metro since Sunday. Should be an increasingly better chance though today, and even more-so tomorrow. .

    89’d at ORD, MDW and here today.

    ORD was up to 81 as of before 9AM, and probably was on pace for 90...but a large area of clouds has since moved in and will be around for a while. We’ll see if there’s a later day rally. Yesterday topped out at 88 at ORD and MDW. Early and later clouds might have prevented 90 then as well. .

    89 at ORD and MDW, and 91 here. .

    Still in FL on vacation. Had another severe t’storm roll through this evening...the second one on this trip. .

    Yea, tomorrow definitely has potential across E IA and N IL. SPC holding at marginal is comical, but par for the course with them. Unfortunately, I’ll still be out of town for this one.

    On vacation in St. Pete Beach from Sun-Sun (17-24th)... Had a tornado warning early yesterday morning, as a line of storms moved through with 60mph+ winds. Ended up with a nice sunset, as lingering cirrus finally exited during the evening. .

    8.20” of rain at ORD this month now. As you said, only a bit behind 2019 (8.25”) and 2018 (8.21”). .
  18. Chicago Storm
    Given all of the rotating storms currently in E MO/S IL/SW IN...and an even better environment tomorrow...should be able to get at least a few to produce something.
  19. Chicago Storm
    Looks quite possible, but unfortunately I won't be in town to see it.
  20. Chicago Storm
    Well then...

    Through May 13th, ORD only had 0.29" of rain on the month. After the quick turn around the past few days, ORD is now up to 4.52" on the month. With the additional expected rain in the coming days, and then a continued wet pattern looking likely to continue next week/next weekend, can probably start looking ahead to wettest Mays on record. It just so happens the record wettest May was just last year in 2019, with 8.25". It will definitely be within reach if this new event works out.
  22. Chicago Storm
    Looks likely now, possibly locally higher as well.
  23. Chicago Storm
    Finished with an event rainfall total of 4.25" at ORD, and 4.55" at here.
  24. Chicago Storm
    This also makes it the highest calendar day rainfall at any point in the month of May. Previous record was 3.45” on 5/29/1981. .
