cyclone77 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 It will be interesting to see what the dews do today. We have widespread low 70s over eastern IA/western and central IL. If we can mix those out some we could get a nice little bump up later. Even with the higher dews we're already near 90. I'll go with 97 at MLI for today and tomorrow, barring any convection or cloud debris of course. 850s are actually a touch cooler tomorrow afternoon out this way.

Chambana Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 With May a lock to finish much above normal for much of the country, after coming off a very cold March and April decided to do some digging on springs that were similar, and 1982 sticks out like a fire thumb.

Chambana Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Having trouble getting the noaa webpage to load right now, but May 82’ featured a warm east, cold west, more pronounced warmth this year, but the overall picture is pretty similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoalCityWxMan Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 31 minutes ago, Chicago Storm said: Yea, I’m bullish. Warmer UA temps then today, continued good mixing, and maybe a bit of feedback from the slowly approaching Alberto. Only negative could be an easterly wind, with a weak and unorganized surface environment. The long range HRRRx has pockets of 100’s across N. IL for tomorrow. So does the 3km NAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting at 92/72/100 here. Thin band of mid-level clouds about to pass and keep our temps in check for the next half hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Pretty crazy to think that the southern Lake Michigan buoy is at 40 degrees. Kinda doesn't seem possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Cruised to 95. Would be an awful day to be at the 500, used to sit right against the fence on turn 4 and the heat just radiates off the track. Gotta be a busy day for the medics there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Per radar, looks like the lake breeze boundary is running through the heart of Chicago over to Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Up to 95 here and at MLI. Cu field rapidly taking shape, with even a developing storm just south now. Dews have mixed back into the mid 60s. If it weren't for the exploding cu field I'd be half tempted to go for a cool 100 degrees at MLI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Dews have dropped over 10 degrees since noon. Now down to 60. Up to 96, but the heat index is actually about 5 degrees cooler than earlier when it was in the low 100s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 1 hour ago, Chicago Storm said: Up to 93 at ORD and MDW. . The high temp occurred pretty late in the afternoon yesterday. Based on current location and speed, the boundary should probably be held back long enough to have any effect on the high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Hit 97 here a while ago. MLI hit at least 96, but has dropped back to 93. DVN up to 96. MLI had a legit shot at 100 if these storms that have popped up wouldn't have COC blocked them. Give it another try tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 97 @ ORD on the 5 min obs, so taking possible rounding into account means the high is at least 96 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Like cyclone, this morning our dew was in the low 70s as we approached 90 (I was pouring sweat as I had several things to do outside), but then a push of drier air from the nw dropped the dew into the upper 50s and our temp has responded by surging to the upper 90s. It's way too f'n hot for May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 It’s up to 97 at ORD, which will likely be the high.That ties the record for the date from 2012.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Chicago has never officially hit 100 in May, I bet some of the sites a little farther inland have. Have to keep in mind where the observation location was over the years. Rockford hit 106 in May 1934, which is just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 97 at ORD is the hottest temp there since July 2012. Would be interesting to see if early season heat of this magnitude says anything about the summer. I have a feeling there might be some correlation, in terms of overall temp departure and/or the chance for additional higher end heat days, but don't know for sure.

wisconsinwx Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Just had a nice cooling 10 minute or so downpour with a dying thunderstorm. My thermometer at home and car thermometer both made it to 95F, but now temp back down into the mid 70s. After spending some of the day outside, it's nice to have some relief from the heat.

zinski1990 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Made it to 92 west side indy. Nws official high 91. First 90 of year. I think this summer will be a very hot one. 2012 was last hot summer. Since only one year 2016 had higher than avg 90 degrees. 2010 had 37, 2011 42, and 51 2012. 3 really hot years in a row. We are due this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 MLI hit a new record of 97 shortly after 1pm. With another 2-4hrs of potential they had a legit shot at 100. Damn clouds lol. Tomorrow there could be some debris clouds coming down out of WI, and there could be some additional pop up storms like today. Slightly cooler 850 temps out this way as well. Think today was our best shot at 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Temps overperformed slightly today. Wasn't expecting it until tomorrow, but DAY reached 90 for the first time this year today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
