If we can get through today, the next biggest threat to 90+ would be on Friday. There a disturbance moving through Thursday night, that if (probably will) timing changes on it, could make for a stormy day and hinder 90+ potential. .
Obviously an OP run, but the consistency in the GFS showing almost wall to wall 90-100+ temps for the next two weeks is something. Can’t even recall that in 2012. There is a good amount of EPS and GEFS support for the ridge to continue flexing into the region, so it might be on to something to a degree. .
Some 90+ info for Chicago, given the pattern we are in and will be in for the foreseeable future...
90+ Days as of June 30th...
ORD: 9 (94 highest)
MDW: 6 (94 highest)
MBY: 9 (95 highest)
1981-2010 average through June 30th for Chicago is 4.5 days and climate history average is 4.2 days...So while not record breaking or even close to it for now, this year is already running well above average for 90+ days.
Today looks like a similar threat as was seen on Saturday.
Isolated severe, but nothing widespread...and with more widespread rain and general t'storms.
Fatman did some good things and some bad things during this stretch in IL...but the requirement of masks and slow re-opening seems to be working for now. Shall see how numbers look come August, after restrictions really relax heading into early July. .
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.
