    ORD and MDW missed out on getting into the 90's today, but inland areas W-SW-S still made it. ...2024 90°+ Day Tally... 8 - ARR 7 - MDW 7 - RFD 6 - ORD 6 - PWK 6 - DPA 6 - LOT 5 - UGN

    2024 has started abnormally warm/mild. 4 out of the 5 months so far this year have finished in the top 15 warmest. February: Record Warmest March: 12th Warmest April: 15th Warmest May: 12th Warmest Not surprisingly, this makes the period of January-May 2024 one of the warmest on record. 1. 2012: 46.7 2. 1921: 45.7 3. 2024: 45.5 4. 1880: 45.5 5. 1998: 44.4

    The low temp of 78° at ORD yesterday (June 18th) broke the record high min temp for the date of 77°, which was set in 1921.
  7. Chicago Storm
    Chicago/O'Hare had a low temperature of 78° on June 18th, which broke the record high minimum temperature for the date of 77° (1921).

    that’s what happens when dew points mix out and heat indices are only marginally elevated. nothing that has occurred so far has been worthy of a heat headline.
  11. Chicago Storm
    it hasn't been headline worthy there...or anywhere around these parts for that matter. HI's have not even cracked 100. IKK's highest temp and HI happened to be yesterday, at 95/98.
  12. Chicago Storm
    It’s due to different criteria. DVN has lower criteria compared to offices W-S-E.

    Topped out at 97° at both ORD and MDW today. The high temp of 97° at ORD today broke the record high temp for the date of 96°, which was set in 1887/1957. ...2024 90°+ Day Tally... 5 - MDW 5 - RFD 5 - ARR 4 - ORD 4 - PWK 3 - DPA 3 - UGN 3 - LOT

    Chicago/O'Hare had a high temperature of 97° on June 17th, which broke the record high maximum temperature for the date of 96° (1887/1957).

    probably the trio-combo of wind, lack of humidity, and heat indices only slightly higher than the actual temp.

    that would be a feat.
  20. Chicago Storm
    over. the split between the GFS/Euro from days ago is looking good.
  21. Chicago Storm
    That slight risk for this afternoon/evening definitely looks overdone. While there's sufficient instability and moisture, shear is greatly lacking. Can already see the effects of that issue with the current activity in the DVN CWA being very outflow dominant. A marginal risk for an isolated severe t'storm threat would have been sufficient. On the flip-side, what a forecast change from what looked like a dry day just 12 hours ago. MCV magic...
  22. Chicago Storm
    probably a split. GFS is big on getting tropical stuff involved from the Gulf, leading to more bouts of clouds/pop-up summer t'storms. Euro has been less-so, thus one of the reasons it has been hotter.
  23. Chicago Storm
    90's across the area the past few days. 90° at ORD and 92° at MDW on Wednesday, with 91° at both ORD and MDW yesterday. ...2024 90°+ Day Tally... 3 - MDW 3 - RFD 3 - ARR 2 - ORD 2 - PWK 1 - DPA 1 - UGN 1 - LOT

    In the Euro we trust…

    Frontal passage timing is not looking optimal for today, with the disturbance moving through the region today helping to kick it southward fairly quickly. It's looking like initiation may occur right across portions of the metro, perhaps in the vicinity of the I-88/I-80 corridors. In other words, it's likely a miss south for some around here.
