We’re finally seeing earlier and better mixing locally today. Monday and yesterday really didn’t start mixing until later afternoon. Today it has been all day, and it looks to be more thorough now, with DP’s bouncing between 66-70° currently. With that, today should feature the peak high temp of this stretch. Tomorrow would have a shot as well, if not for increased cloud and outflow potential.

ORD topped out at 92° yesterday, with MDW 93°.

The best month of the year has arrived.

Under-mixing. It always seems to be the issue in these set-ups. Edit: Looks like the 0z and 12z HRRR 'only' had a high of 91, so it seems overzealous DVN was just being its usual self.

It's unfortunate that the ridge center trended east over the past several days. We could have had a shot at 100 locally with it better positioned further west, and we also likely would have prolonged the heat wave as well prior to ROF potential.

Ignore the horrid forum upload compression, but another quality look from ORD this evening as that hybrid supercell moved in.

Chicago Weather Records Tracking
Chicago Storm replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Thanks for posting that. It gives a good visual of the trends over time. It also reminds me that we're due for a clunker. -
Solid MCV soaker today.
-
the 2026 illinois tornado total was at 134 prior to yesterday. combine yesterday with last thursday’s info still incomplete, and we’re probably right at the record currently.
-
134 prior to today, and with info not yet completed from last thursday.
-
the reverse jinx is strong around here.
-
it's already about to move out of the new warning too. ilx has been struggling all day.
-
they got duped. most, if not all of that, is contamination.
-
they might want to do another check on observations (radar, satellite, surface obs), because it is definitely over north of us24.
-
not this time, that was a real call for a change.
-
one of the worst md’s and watches from them this year, maybe the worst. totally uncalled for.
-
it’s over up north.

G78MPH in Cedar Rapids with the bow.

tbh, i believe tomorrow will pale in comparison to last thursday in illinois. that's my hunch.
-
Can't get anyone to cover me tomorrow, so I'll be missing chasing this one, just as I missed last Thursday's event. Time for some reverse-jinxing to pull stuff north once again, to make it interesting locally.
