Still in the onshore flow here

Tonight??

March was definitely way more active than either month….the December atmospheric river parades and windstorms were pretty wild. I didn’t start actually recording my PWS data until the beginning of this year but the nearby stations had about 14” of the rain that month.

Yeah, the AIFS is on the faster end, but a number of models do have the front through ORD by 20-21z. Just watching these types of things over the years, I never want to completely discount the faster side. Needless to say, every hour will matter as far as trying to pull off 80 in Chicago. If it can hold off through 1-2 pm, then there would be a pretty decent shot at touching 80.

High was 86F today, cooling down
