Think 90 is doable but 93 looks bullish considering southerly surface flow and dews pushing 70. Pretty impressive for late Sep though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFS does, and the result is temps even a couple degrees warmer with the raw output of 95 for MLI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAM and GFS both have 850 mb temps around 21C out there. If that verifies then mid 90s would certainly be in play. Some caution is warranted as MLI has hit 95 or higher only 4 times on/after September 20, but that is one heck of a thermal ridge being progged for this time of year and with dry ground, who knows.

Chambana Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 KCMI tagged 90 again yesterday, second day in a row, have to wonder if the extremely dry conditions are aiding the temperatures. I now have 90-92 degrees in my forecast Wednesday-Saturday. With little to no rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Here are the 10 warmest days in Chicago, September 20th and later. Strangely enough, the two warmest days are later in the season than most of the other eight days. Just goes to show how "jumpy" outlier/extreme events can be. 99 on 9/29/1953 94 on 10/6/1963 92 on 9/30/1971, 9/28/1953, 9/22/1956, 9/21/1970 91 on 9/27/1971, 9/24/1891, 9/23/1937, 9/20/1931 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy stuff. I was going to roll out some stats, if and when ORD hits 90, but might as well do it now. I researched this a couple days ago and don't have it in front of me but I believe Chicago has hit 90+ a total of 34 times from September 20 onward, which makes it about 1 day per 4.3 years for the long term average... though lately it has been more like 1 in 10 years.

Hoosier Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 LOT forecast has 88-90 for ORD for the next 4 days. The record streak of 90 degree days from 9/20 onward is 3 days, from 9/30/1971 through 10/2/1971 and 9/20/1895 through 9/22/1895 (though that one started on the 19th). Even if a 3 or 4 day streak of 90s fails to materialize, the current forecast (getting the 4th consecutive day of at least upper 80s) would basically be an unprecedented occurrence in Chicago weather records. The max temps are noteworthy, but it's really the duration of this high end warm stretch that is more unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how high ORD reached back in Oct, 2007 - 5-7th That was a great stretch of sept in to oct wx. Heck - we've had a great run of early falls for awhile now and this fall fits the bill for another. Let this fall behave like Nina's tend to and then let's let the parade of cutters begin.

UMB WX Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Thanks. That must be pushing +20 - impressive. To go on to one of the best winters in history. Sweet stretch of wx we've been in outside the local meh winters of late. That's fixing to change though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 HRRR pretty bullish with temps tomorrow for this area. Showing 91-93 for the QCA. The record at MLI for tomorrow is 92 from 1931. May give it a run if the HRRR is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wildcard would be in areas with very dry ground and whether that allows bigger overnight cooldowns than progged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the relatively high dews for this late in the year should help keep those temps up. It's amazing to think that we're not too far from the earliest trace snowfall for this area, and we could conceivably see heat index temps pushing 100 tomorrow.

Hoosier Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 HRRR dews at 21z. I'd have to check but I wonder how this compares to what happened in Oct 2007. Then again, that was a couple weeks later in the calendar year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Was wondering if the rains overnight yesterday would have any effect in holding back temps around here, but it doesn't look like it. Checking a couple of the nearby sites, they are running very close to the Chicago sites which got very little rain, and the Chicago sites had a warmer start this morning.

Hoosier Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 87 at ORD. Should be able to reach 90 today. Warmer start tomorrow with a very similar airmass overhead may put something like 92 or 93 in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C’mon baby let’s break it I'd lean more toward the highest model 2m temps in the coming days, especially with the generally dry ground. MAV/MET MOS output is still tending to undershoot, even on the day of (like today). Old school forecasting "10 after 10" rule (add 10 degrees to the 10 a.m. temp to get the high, on days without strong advection and drastic change in sky cover) undersold the warming potential today as well, with many areas rising more like 12-15 degrees.
