Steamy End To Summer



Yesterday's high of 88° at O'Hare made it the first above average day we have seen in just over a week. We will crank the heat and humidity up just a notch today with highs for many of us hitting 90°. That would make it the first 90° high in a little over a month. Despite a couple of cooler days coming up tomorrow through Saturday, heat and humidity will build back by the end of the weekend and we should start off next week steamy with highs again near 90°.

The longer range outlooks from the Climate Prediction Center keep the heat coming. Both the 6 to 10 day and 8 to 14 day forecast (see images below) have us outlooked for above average weather. That would take us right through the end of climatological summer and past Labor Day weekend with warmer than average temperatures overall.
