I'd be fine with it comitting full zonal, but a big part of me was looking forward to the thunderstorm potential on the back end of the ridge. I was willing to endure a day or two of 90F weather for that. The 00z still sort of has some convection but it's really marginal.
Could be flirting with 90 at ORD on Tuesday. I'd give it about a 35% chance at this point. Record high is 92.
Fun fact... from May 14 through October 4, every daily record high for Chicago is over 90 degrees.
That was so difficult to make without photoshop or any real software. I hacked it together with screenshots and PNG custom crops using google slides ms paint and a few other cropper websites
