Hoosier Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Lake breeze boundary visible on LOT radar. Moved through PWK. Can't loop the radar to see how fast it's moving but would obviously cap the warming at ORD if it moves through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 94 at ORD breaks today's record of 92 set in 1970. Two consecutive daily record highs. Today is the 3rd hottest day so late in the season, behind 99 on 9/29/53 and 94 on 10/6/63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainsucks Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I think tomorrow might be even warmer at ORD. Identical thermal fields along with more sunshine and wind should result in better mixing. I'll go with 96 at ORD tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainsucks Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 This truly is an anomalous warm stretch we're in. Might even be more anomalous than the torch in Feb 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gut would be to give that one the edge but I'd have to go back and look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might even be more anomalous than the torch in Feb 2017.If we can make it to at least Sunday with 90+ temps I would agree...If not, I'd give it to Feb.Sunday-Tuesday is more iffy for 90 though, but it should stay in the upper 80's though.

Stebo Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 94 in Lansing 93 Grand Rapids and 94 at both Chicago locations. Here we are just 88 but with 74 dew point we get a nice heat index of 97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

February broke the daily high temp record in Chicago on 5 out of 6 days. No matter what, it's a very unusual warm stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible, especially for those who are active outdoors.

michsnowfreak Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I know it's much hotter in Chicago than here, but this does not seem near as anomalous as Feb 2017 (warmth). Or for that matter Feb 2015 (cold) or Mar 2012 (heat). We are still running colder than normal in Sept, should cross into + territory Saturday.

Chicago Storm Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 94 the high at ORD and 95 at MDW.As mentioned previously, the 94 broke the record high for the date of 92 (1970). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 As expected this morning, the clouds really screwed the heat potential for the QCA. Only made it to 86 here. The very soggy soils in the QC will likely take a bite out of the next few days potential. Yesterday's 94 at MLI will likely be the max for the heat spell.

But ultimately, it appears DTW was 89'd. Maybe we'll tap 90*F tomorrow or Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 I will probably throw out a guess later for tomorrow's high at ORD. Fairly predictable as long as there's not a lot of clouds so it should be a tie or within a degree or so of today's high of 94. How much the clouds took off the temps today is questionable... maybe a slight amount but probably not more than 1 degree or 2 at most. Tomorrow should have a similar starting point and perhaps a touch cooler aloft as was mentioned earlier. If tomorrow has even less clouds early on, then there could be a situation where's it like 86 or 87 already at 10 am and it looks like it's off to the races toward the upper 90s, but then the rate of warming backs off more than usual. But if you're at, say, 94 for a couple hourly obs, it's tempting to try to sneak a 95 in there at some point, even though tomorrow has some potentially competing factors as far as trying to outperform today.

Chambana Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Clouds kept our temps in check that today we held steady at 92. 90’s in forecast now through Monday. Very impressive late season heatwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 With 90s appearing likely into beginning of next week, dating back to last Saturday, we will have achieved 90+ Readings 8/10 of days if we make it until Monday 9/25.

There's just something kinda crazy about that lol Weird thing about this experience is that sunset isn't that far off by the time I'm home. Not a lot of time to enjoy outdoors in daylight.

UMB WX Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 wow still 90+ ORD. Did they move the asos on to asphalt. Great call hoosier. Hard not to take the Under 95 if it was a life or death call. Also hard to bet against, Hoosier. Either way fun day tracking it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
