Rapid decay of the derecho as it pushed through the IND/LMK/PAH CWA's. The heavily modified air from the morning MCS in E. IL/SW. IN/W. KY killed it off fairly quickly. Looks like renewed development is underway across SE. Illinois, with quality still TBD. A staple off high end MCS events, thought.

RIJ on the derecho being sampled at 95KT on KILX.

OFB accident with that one, occurring on the intersection of two OFB's.

i wouldn't count on it.

Forgot to mention the 90's this past weekend, on Saturday June 24th. Topped out at 93 at ORD, and 92 at MDW and RFD. RFD also added a 90 last Wednesday (June 21st) as well. ...2023 90°+ Day Tally... 6 - ARR 5 - ORD 5 - DPA 4 - MDW 4 - RFD 4 - LOT 2 - PWK 0 - UGN

stop posting. .

sucks 2 b u. .

ORD is down to 1 1/2SM with FU. It would be hard to dig in to, and something LOT would have to do, but I’d imagine that might be one of the lowest FU based visibility obscuration marks ever. .

Vis has been lowering here at ORD the past few hours, with smoke mixing down to the surface. Currently 3SM with FU.

Nice MCV with this complex moving through tonight, which likely helped maintain it longer than expected, given very marginal parameters. Peak wind gusts of 50-55MPH as the main line moved through here at home a bit ago. .

met summer > asto summer. .

could see somewhat of a pattern shake-up, as early as this weekend.

Catching up on where we stand locally regarding 90°+ days so far this year. Looks like there's a chance to add to the totals a bit during the 2nd half of this month. ...2023 90°+ Day Tally... 4 - ORD 4 - DPA 4 - ARR 3 - MDW 3 - LOT 2 - RFD 1 - PWK 0 - UGN
