An English-language Chicago and Midwest weather update for October 12, 2026, followed by Chicago 60645 zmanim with seconds.WEATHERBased on National Weather Service point forecasts and Area Forecast Discussions available early Monday afternoon. Topics include record-high benchmarks, places forecast to reach 90°F or higher, observed dew points, Tuesday's increasing humidity, the upper-level ridge and southwest warm-air advection, and the role of deep mixing and compressional warming.The episode distinguishes forecast highs from observations and confirmed records. It discusses the Ozark Plateau question without treating an unverified downslope boost into St. Louis as an established fact.LOCAL OUTLOOKChicago's wind direction is included. Multi-day Joliet and Waukegan forecasts illustrate inland/lakeshore differences and the shift from southwest/west winds to north-northeast winds. Those differences also reflect fronts, latitude, and clouds; they are not a pure measurement of Lake Michigan's effect.ZMANIMChicago ZIP 60645: Monday evening, October 12, through Tuesday early afternoon, October 13, 2026. Times include seconds and identify the MyZmanim calculation methods. Follow your own minhag and allow a margin before deadlines; sunrise/sunset assume an unobstructed horizon. Other methods can give different times.Tzeis uses the sun 8.5 degrees below the horizon. On October 12, MyZmanim gives 6:55:19 p.m. CDT, 41 minutes 31 seconds after the 6:13:48 p.m. sunset. This is an angle-based calculation, not a fixed 42-minute rule. Baal HaTanya and Gra are mentioned in the narration only for sof zman krias shema and sof zman tefillah.Forecasts and zmanim are date-specific. Check the latest official weather and your current local zmanim before acting.MUSIC“Shiru Lamelech,” piano performance supplied by the host.WEATHER SOURCESChicago AFD:https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=LOT&issuedby=LOT&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1St. Louis AFD:https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=LSX&issuedby=LSX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1Central Illinois AFD:https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=ILX&issuedby=ILX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1Kansas City AFD:https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=EAX&issuedby=EAX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1Milwaukee AFD:https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=MKX&issuedby=MKX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1Indianapolis AFD:https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=IND&issuedby=IND&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1Quad Cities AFD:https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=DVN&issuedby=DVN&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1Des Moines AFD:https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=DMX&issuedby=DMX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1Ozarks AFD:https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=SGF&issuedby=SGF&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1LOCAL POINT FORECASTSChicago:https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=41.878&lon=-87.63Joliet:https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=41.525&lon=-88.081Waukegan:https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=42.363&lon=-87.844MYZMANIMOctober 12:https://www.myzmanim.com/day.aspx?askdefault=1&vars=US60645October 13:https://www.myzmanim.com/day.aspx?vars=US60645/10-13-2026////////////////fddb1a8.5-degree explanation:https://www.myzmanim.com/messagebox.aspx?messageid=degreesexplainedAI-generated weather and zmanim narration.

In June 1816, in the middle of the famous "Year Without a Summer," Massachusetts went from killing frost and June snow to 102-degree heat in about twelve days. Boston diarist Ethan Allen Greenwood recorded 102 degrees on June 23, 1816, with Salem at 101 — less than two weeks after Williamstown's thermometer read 30.5 degrees with heavy frost that killed the crops where they stood. This is the forgotten heat wave inside the coldest summer in New England memory, the story of one wildly wavy jet stream producing two opposite extremes in the same month — and of the silver linings that grew out of the suffering: government relief, public health, the invention that became the bicycle, and the westward migration that shaped a growing America.1.

The Weather Report for Kids!0:00 - The Giant Heat Dome! Imagine a giant, invisible dome of super hot air sitting right over the middle of our country. Scientists call this a "heat dome." It's making places like Oklahoma and Missouri super-duper hot. This big hot dome is also sliding westward towards Arizona. By Thursday, the desert city of Phoenix is going to feel like a giant oven! It will be over 110 degrees outside. If you live there, you definitely need to drink lots of water and stay in places with air conditioning.1:03 - Cool Air to the Rescue & Thunder Boomers! But don't worry, cool air is on the way! A big push of chilly air, called a "cold front," is marching down from Canada. When this cold air crashes into the hot, sticky air, it will make big thunderstorms! Places like Iowa and the Dakotas are already seeing heavy rain and loud thunder. The rain can come down so fast it makes big puddles and even flooding. So, grab your umbrellas and rain boots!1:39 - Snow in September?! Believe it or not, winter is already trying to peek out! High up in the mountains of Montana and Wyoming, the air is getting so chilly that the rain is going to turn into snow! Glacier National Park might even get up to 6 inches of fluffy white snow by the end of the week. It'll almost be time to build a snowman up there!2:06 - Wild Weather in Alaska and Hawaii! In Hawaii, a big storm called Hurricane Loa is bringing heavy pouring rain and huge, crashing waves to the islands. And way up north in Alaska, a massive storm is bringing heavy rain and wind so strong it could almost blow off your hat!2:30 - Crazy Weather Extremes! Weather can be really silly sometimes! In California, if you stand on the beach, you might need a sweater because it's only in the 60s (which is cool). But if you drive just a little bit away from the water, it's over 100 degrees and super hot! That's a 40-degree difference in just a short car ride!3:10 - Frosty Mornings in Maine! Also, way up in the state of Maine, it will be so cold at night that there might be icy frost on the grass in the morning! That was a quick trip through the weather all across America! Thank you for listening to our super awesome weather show! And remember, always keep looking up at the clouds!
