This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the highest temperature recorded by NOAA at the Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport Station in degrees Fahrenheit on 24 Aug '26. 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. 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.**Current NWS and private forecast models converge on a daytime high in the mid to upper 70s for Chicago on August 24, 2026, under sunny to partly cloudy skies.** Northwesterly flow advects cooler continental air while Lake Michigan’s lake breeze and thermal moderation cap inland warming, keeping readings well below the 81.9 °F late-August climatological average. Morning observations near 61 °F and light winds support limited afternoon mixing, with most guidance clustering between 73–79 °F and minimal precipitation risk. Trader positioning favoring the 76–79 °F bins reflects this consensus and the narrow uncertainty range typical for a stable, post-frontal summer day. Updated model runs and lake-breeze timing remain the key variables that could shift the final observed high within the resolution bins.
