Chicago warmed up Thursday to a degree not felt on this day in more than 80 years.
The temperature reached 83 degrees at O'Hare Airport, surpassing the previous record high of 82 degrees for April 13 set in 1941, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Ricky Castro. Before then, the city had last hit 82 degrees in 1887.
Wednesday, when the high was 82 degrees, was the first day this year that reached the 80s in Chicago. However, mid-April isn't an unusual time to break that threshold.The warm weather is mostly caused by a large ridge in the North American jet stream enveloping the eastern two-thirds of the country, Castro said. Additionally, a slow-moving storm system above Mississippi is blocking off moisture from entering the Chicago area.
