DLMKA Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I’m in Fargo. Was driving back from Valley City, ND and had -26F on dash the whole way from 5-5:45. I’m taking my truck battery into the hotel tonight. I’m not sure it’ll have enough CCA at -35f to start with no block heater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 ORD and RFD need to start dropping fast. -4 and -6 at 8:00 PM. Need to get to -12 and -15 by midnight to have a chance at the all time coldest max tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller.b.time Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Does NWS not issue PDS Wind Chill Warnings anymore? Because some of these numbers would seem to warrant it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its coming in waves... -10's entering NW. Illinois now, -20's in SE. Minnesota now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Based on the current and expected drop rate, about -25 looks good for ORD. Would be nice to see an overachiever though. Just need to get to -22 to beat 1994. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I think there's a very good possibility of -40 in northern IL Thursday morning at one of the favored spots as long as high clouds don't move in quicker than expected. Though I did forecast -26 at ORD Thursday morning, I'm somewhat doubting that it will actually break the all time record coldest. Hopefully I'm wrong. I think RFD has a better chance, could certainly do it tomorrow morning, but if not Thursday AM looks primed.

Got to have as cold of a starting point as possible tomorrow night. A radiational cooling setup is not the way you'd draw up breaking the all-time record low for Chicago, but normal rules sort of go out the window if the high can't get much above -15.

Thinking it should fall short in the advection cold tomorrow morning but it could be close there too, I went with -24.Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 ORD needs to pick it up soon. A -11 midnight temp would be disappointing, even though it would go down as a record since ties count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think -12 is the record low max. -14 here and dropping steadily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
