Back home, day time highs in the low to mid 70's for the city away from the lake. Up to the mid 80's in the far south and southwest suburbs. In the city, the high for the day was 80F at MDW just after midnight.
rose to 74°F, dewpoint down to 53°F; forecast has it dropping to 44°F by mid afternoon
...GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TODAY...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS
MORNING. BEHIND THE FRONT...GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS NEAR 35 TO 45
MPH COULD OCCUR FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE
GUSTY WINDS COMBINED WITH FULLY LEAVED TREES COULD BRING DOWN A
FEW TREE LIMBS.
Very Windy today! Had to see the setup.. Temps and dew points about to start dropping in the afternoon. Actually DPs did down in the 40s again.
Upper Low in Quebec and a storm near Maine. 995mb Low. + the moving cold front + base of the trough & Jet Stream = set up for winds.

Upper closed low pressure across eastern Canada rotates into
northern New England today with a shearing vort max moving into
the region this afternoon. Given dry sounding much above 850 hPa,
even with this forcing, it should remain dry, however, could see
some instability clouds across higher elevations where convective
temperatures should be reached
Zoomed out. Ridge peaking north into Central Canada but clouds preventing a big warmup. Hot under the ridge and sloping down. Upper Low in New England with a continued Northwest flow for the Northeast.
Surface Map. High pressure in Southeast. Low Pressure in Quebec. Cold front right over me.
DP is 51F now, it was in the upper 60's when I left. I felt the drop since I was outside the entire time, very odd sensation lol. Skies went from partly cloud to a clear deep blue. Temperature is still in the mid 80's.
Jesus and all the forecasts a couple days ago had us at like 82f max for the weekend. I think it's safe to say they were nowhere close lol
