RCNYILWX Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Merry Christmas to everyone and this year, Merry Torchmas. If we can't have a white Christmas, I'll take this over brutal cold and dry. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Temps might overachieve today, with less cirrus than expected. Already around 60 as far north as MLI and PNT. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Definitely overachieving out this way. We are forecast to hit 55°. Already 56° with full sun. This ties for second on Christmas day which will easily be broken as we might touch 60°. No way of getting the all-time record, as it stands at 64° in 1982. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Gino pointed out, it is the low hanging fruit record for December. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluoronium Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Looks like temps really overachieved today! Absolutely amazing outside. Last white Christmas here was 2 years ago, but we've had a white Easter and a white Halloween since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 hit 62 here today. Felt almost unnatural. Woke up to birds chirping, and by lunchtime smokers and grills going in the distance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Took this today along the Lake. Just perfect conditions for a walk. I take for granted how incredible it is living near a large body of water, the sunsets throughout the year are so beautiful. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 MLI hit 62 today for the 2nd 60+ day in a row. Incredible 2-day stretch for the holidays. Even this evening it was nice to be outside as temps are still holding in the 50s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Never though I'd experience a 6"+ snowstorm on Halloween, followed by 60F and shorts weather on Christmas...in the same year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Topped out at 61 MDW and 57 ORD today. Looks like low 60's a lock tomorrow, with the record of 55 likely being blown away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 It's just after midnight but the temp is still warm enough that the record high at MLI for today is already tied at 56. Cool front will pass and knock temps back later this morning, so another 60+ day is out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister mentioned something along those lines that I hadn't thought of... well, not the 6" storm because we didn't get that much snow on Halloween, but the weirdness of having snow on Halloween and such warm temps on Christmas.

King James Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Went to bed and set the thermostat at 64. Woke up to the house at 66. Don’t think the heat even kicked on last night. Wild times boys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 If the current temp forecast is correct (62°), FWA will break its old record of 60° set in 2016. The three highest temps ever recorded on 12/26 have occurred in the past five years: 2019, 2016, and 2015 (54°). Speaking of 12/26, Happy Boxing Day.
