cyclone77 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Only 93 at MLI today, and 94 here. Expected higher. At least that lame 94 max for the season was replaced with that 96 yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 It is actually warmer now at ORD than a few hours ago, as the effects of the boundary that passed through start to wear off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely will stay in the upper 70's tonight. If not for the activity this morning, likely would have broke the record for today... Record is 74 (1959) and low was 72. Record high min temp for tomorrow is 77 (1973), which I'd guess the low ends up fairly close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of dismissed the possibility of tonight being that warm, largely due to today not getting into the mid/upper 90s... but yeah, I wouldn't be all that surprised if it doesn't drop below the upper 70s overnight. Warm airmass aloft and UHI and all. As mentioned earlier, I am really bullish on tomorrow night's low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another lake enhanced OFB is rapidly pushing SW across NE Illinois once again. PWK went from 88 to 79, and falling. Tomorrow night though should be golden, as you mentioned.

bowtie` Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 KIND made it to 92 today. One more than yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Made it to 91 today, the first 90-degree day in nearly a month. Have one more shot at hitting 90 again tomorrow. It's not going to be much of the heatwave that was expected this week. August 2013 seems to be a matching analog for this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Temp went from 77 to 78 at ORD... at 3 am central time. A tidbit about Wed night/Thu morning for Chicago. Since records began, there have only been 6 occurrences of 80 degree lows in August and none after 8/21. Will #7 happen and make it the latest day in the year with a low of 80? Stay tuned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will find a way to hit 95 if not higher imo. 4-5 more hours of heating on dry ground in an urban setting. Plus, it's ORD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Heat wave is over for us. Currently 66F with an expected high ~75F today. Got down to 57F last night. Had the windows open, felt real nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 The 17z HRRR has a low of 75 at ORD, but it tends not to account very well for the UHI. Yesterday's 17z HRRR was about 4 degrees too cool with this morning's low temp. If the same magnitude of error occurs this time, then it will come down to the wire as far as an 80 degree low.

I'm not sure it'll matter, cause might have a few pop-up t'storms and/or get out-flowed tomorrow evening/night. I'm just raining on your parade lately.

Looks like clouds are on the increase at ORD? I have noticed more clouds around here in the last hour or two. Agree. The Euro was dead-set on today being the hottest for several days. However, all other guidance was cooler, and in the near term supported Monday being the hottest. Euro gets a negative rating on that aspect, but positive for being the first to pick up on this period. Yea, widespread CU across the whole area now. Going to make it even more-so of a struggle to get to 95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Dews are staying up at ORD, relatively speaking. There had been indications that it could mix down to around 60 during peak heating today, but currently running at 67. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
