Recent National Weather Service and model guidance point to a cooler air mass and northwest-to-northeast winds moderating temperatures in Chicago on August 27, supporting the market's emphasis on the 80-81°F bin. Official forecasts project highs near 75-78°F inland with mid-70s readings near the lake under partly cloudy skies and only slight shower chances, limiting daytime heating. This aligns with the seasonal decline in solar angle and the influence of Lake Michigan's thermal inertia. The 82-83°F outcome remains viable if cloud cover decreases or winds weaken, while lower bins reflect the risk of stronger onshore flow. Traders are weighing the latest NWS updates against historical August averages near 81°F as new model runs arrive.

The resolution source for this market will be information from NOAA, specifically the highest reading under the "Temp" column for all times on this day, available here: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=kord
This market will resolve off of the Hourly Data provided using the "Show Hourly Data" button.
If NOAA data is unavailable or missing for the observation period, Weather Underground will be used as the secondary resolution source.
To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the "Switch to US Units w/ kts" button until the relevant table displays °F.
This market can not resolve until the first data point for the following date has been published on the resolution source.
The resolution source for this market measures temperatures to whole degrees Fahrenheit (eg, 21°F). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
Revisions to temperatures recorded within this market's timeframe will be considered until the first datapoint for the following date has been published, after which any alterations will not be considered.
