  1. And to add on, Re: Euro. The Euro has mixing a full 100mb higher than the GFS/NAM/GEM. It’s tried to do the same this past week, but corrected itself as we approached each day of the heat wave.
  2. The heat monger has been surprisingly pessimistic on heat. But I do think it is a red flag that the Euro is the hottest once again across the region as a whole. It had a rough go of it with a terrible performance last summer in that regard, and has not been stellar this summer so far either.
  3. Getting close to locking these in as final call.
  4. I’m not so sure we achieve 90’s every day after early week.
  5. 91 RFD 95 Ex-Home 90°+ day tally for the year... 10 - MDW9 - RFD7 - Current Home7 - Ex-Home5 - ORD
  6. The current heat wave could/should have been thread worthy.
  7. Some HRRR runs have had 95° there for today, but it has been a few degrees too cool the past few days at that location.
  8. Unfortunately it’s looking like a quick 2-3 day push of heat, before things flatten out.
  9. The 0z DVN sounding had mixing to 800mb. Given that out this way we mixed out at the surface much more than the DVN area, I'm guessing mixing was to around 750mb around here (If not better?).
  10. It's going to be a close one, but looking to fall just short as of right now.
  11. Getting widespread 35-45MPH wind gusts now across N IL and S WI. The 19z DVN sounding showed mixing to 850MB. However the warm nose was mirco sized, so we likely broke through that for much deeper mixing.
  12. We're kind of late in the game now for that, especially with no sub-forum mod to do the latter.
  13. It’s 100°/59° at MDW currently. Deep mixing today.
  14. Final high temps for today across the area... 100 MDW 96 ORD 97 RFD 96 Ex-Home 90°+ day tally for the year... 9 - MDW8 - RFD6 - Current Home6 - Ex-Home4 - ORD
  15. 99 at MDW. We'll have to see if there was an intra-hour reading I missed. If not, might get 99'd with cirrus moving through now.
  16. Definitely not any sort of pre-frontal trough right now. That area of cirrus lifting up through the region appears to be tied to interaction with the low over TX.
  17. I was 50/50 earlier in regards to heading to SW WI for today. Given terrain and questionable storm mode, opted not to head out. Will continue to watch things evolve through the day, and keep a watch on the border region (Far S WI & Far N IL) should things look more interesting (16z HRRR Environment).
