Hoosier Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Performed a quick little research project. This is a bit arbitrary, but I took a look at years that had at least 5 days of 90+ in Chicago by June 15 (2021 has 7). It has now happened 26 times. In those years, the final 90 degree count had a wide range from 12 days (1920) to 47 days (1988). A handful of years finished in the teens with the vast majority finishing with 20+ days.

bowtie` Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Once again it rains just enough to dampen the road but not enough to even click my tippy bucket once to 0.01". That spot of drought yellow over my county is not going anywhere as long as this keeps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was browsing some Chicago heat stats. Trying to see what the greatest disparity was between Detroit and Chicago wrt 90 days. But it's too early for that now. Right now it's 0-7. But while i was looking, the 1950s really caught my eye. Absolutely unbearable summers. I've always noted how we don't get the extreme heat of the 1930s-50s but I didn't realize how torrid the 1950s were in Chicago.

Hoosier Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Through the 12th, ORD is running +8.8. From a departure standpoint, this looks like it will be the peak temperature departure, given the look of the upcoming pattern and daily averages that are still rising. If the 13th-30th merely comes in as average, then June would still finish in the warmest top 10. The pattern in the extended does not look particularly cool on the whole, so I'd say there's a very good chance to finish among the top 10 warmest, with some chance of getting into the top 5.

Stormheartgypsy Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Any rain in sight? I looked at the long range climate prediction center (NOAA) and come 18th, rain probability. I'm wondering if this has to do w/ La Nina (I believed I read that it has faltered off) and that we're in a 'neutral' ENSO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Much drier feel to the air today, and it will only get drier coming up. High dews are good for helping to jack up CAPE, and achieving 80+ is always interesting. Other than that, give me the dry heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 The air is dry (dew 49º), but it's pretty warm out there. Blazing sun, very little wind, and 88º feels quite toasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
