Hoosier Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I don't think the daily records for 4/27 will be broken for Chicago, but could at least be within shouting distance of one or both. Interestingly, the record high min for the date is from 1915, which was also a super dry Spring in Chicago up to this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 The lawns here are less lush and moist than a week or two ago. It has not rained in two weeks, so we could use a nice soaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Temperatures are generally running above even the warmer guidance. Here are progs at 21z vs. actual. If this trend repeats tomorrow, then it may be a very close call at ORD with the record of 87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 84 is our record here tomorrow, we are forecasted for 83. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 MLI has made it to at least 84 so far today. The record of 86 is in jeopardy tomorrow if clouds hold off long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherMonger Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Hit 79 today, also think a wind advisory could have been justified. Been some good gusts and limbs coming down this afternoon/evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoboy645 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Don't you just love it when your predicted high of 72 tomorrow turns into 54 and clouds. Cause I sure don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that was enough to spin the whirlygigs crazy at the Courthouse and snap the flag straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Still 71 as we approach midnight. Feels like a summer evening. Still waiting on the first slight risk of the season. Don't recall making it into May without being in one but I'm sure it's happened. Very benign spring to say the least. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be the default mode now. How bogus is it that we have a warm front draped across southern Wisconsin in late April, we're expected to nearly hit 80, and we don't have a substantial threat? My lifelong interest in following the weather is rapidly dwindling. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 New record high for MLI today of either 87 or 88 depending on the rounding. Old record was 86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 What I find interesting is 10 years ago today there was a similar swing in temps from cold to warm (20ºC change) as is now. 11 hours ago, CheeselandSkies said: My lifelong interest in following the weather is rapidly dwindling. My interest will never disappear but I know what you mean, this ain't good. I don't want to be just tracking heat wave streaks and researching historical climate heat events. I wish I could swap out today for 10 years ago this moment because I was sleeping on the big one til I realize it wasn't just another outbreak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Temp forecast is tricky around here tomorrow but there's a real possibility (maybe even more likely than not) that the afternoon high ends up being in the 40s. That would be quite the whiplash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
