  1. 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. .
  2. 90 at ORD today. 5th 90+ day on the year. 89’d here and 87 MDW. .
  3. First serial derecho in the region in quite a while. .
  4. 91 at ORD and MDW today. 88 here, with a bit more clouds being further west. .
  5. 90 at ORD today. 91 at MDW and here. .
  6. 92 here yesterday. Was cooler at ORD and MDW due to the lake breeze. 91 here today, and 89 at ORD and MDW, where thicker cirrus held on a bit longer.
  7. Winds increased here on the backside of that activity as well. Likely was a weak wake low, especially given radar velo presentation.
  8. ORD broke the record with a high of 94. MDW also hit 94, and 95 here. .
  9. 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. .
  10. The ‘rona is old news. Riot watch now. .
  11. Next week/next weekend alone will ensure it’s not a dry month. .
  12. 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.
  13. It is definitely much better, as madwx pointed out. Not just for our region either...It has done well in the Plains as well. A recent example was when it nailed the 5/7 event from 1+ day out.
  14. Tomorrow definitely holds potential, but all hinges on tonight/tomorrow mornings activity. SGT risk looks good for now, but could need upgrade to ENH in the morning once everything becomes clear.
  15. But also had the highest test count as well, around 30k.
  16. These are significant... 0140 PM TSTM WND DMG 2 E FORT WAYNE 41.07N 85.10W 05/10/2020 ALLEN IN PUBLIC WIRES DOWNED, TREES INTO HOUSES. PRIMARILY EAST SIDE OF FORT WAYNE INTO NEW HAVEN. 0210 PM TSTM WND DMG 1 S FORT WAYNE 41.05N 85.14W 05/10/2020 ALLEN IN AMATEUR RADIO 15-20 FOOT TREE DOWNED AT ARCADIA CT. AND HOAGLAND AVE. TREE PARTIALLY BLOCKING ARCARDIA CT.
  17. Several damage reports down that way as well, so seems valid.
  18. FWA G78MPH with that line of weak convection moving through.
  19. Protests over the stay at home order starting up downtown today.
  20. Today is going just about as expected, with widespread clouds and convection festering across the main area of focus. Best chance of anything will probably be from that current E IA line, if it matures a bit to the east.
