This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the highest temperature recorded at the Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport Station in degrees Fahrenheit on 5 Apr '26. The resolution source for this market will be information from Wunderground, specifically the highest temperature recorded for all times on this day by the Forecast for the Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport Station once information is finalized, available here: https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/il/chicago/KORD. To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the gear icon next to the search bar and switch the Temperature setting between °F and °C. This market can not resolve to "Yes" until all data for this date has been finalized. 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. Any revisions to temperatures recorded after data is finalized for this market's timeframe will not be considered for this market's resolution.National Weather Service forecasts for Chicago O'Hare International Airport indicate a high near 51°F on April 5, driving trader consensus toward the 50-51°F (24.5%) and 52-53°F (21.5%) outcomes amid a stalling upper trough over the Great Lakes promoting northwest cold air advection. A recent cold front following early April warmth and active storms—capped by April 1's subnormal 39°F high—has ushered seasonably cool conditions below the 54.8°F climatological average, with mostly cloudy skies limiting solar heating. Differentiating factors include lingering effects from the Flood Watch ending early April 5, cloud cover persistence, and boundary layer mixing variability across GFS and ECMWF ensembles. New NOAA model runs expected this afternoon may refine the tightly contested probabilities.
