Trader consensus on Polymarket tilts toward highs of 68-69°F (18.5% implied probability) and 66-67°F (16%), driven by the latest NOAA Weather Prediction Center guidance and GFS/ECMWF ensemble models forecasting a ridge of high pressure over the Midwest, ushering mild southerly flow into Chicago on March 26. These differentiate from slightly cooler 64-65°F (11%) odds, which reflect model runs accounting for potential cold frontal timing delays, and warmer 72-73°F (12.5%) scenarios tied to stronger warm advection. Upper-air analyses show 500-mb heights 40-60 decameters above normal, favoring the upper-60s cluster, though lake-enhanced instability from Lake Michigan could shave 2-3°F off peaks. Historical March 26 averages hover at 50°F, underscoring the unusually warm anomaly amid lingering El Niño influences. Key watch: 12Z model updates tomorrow.

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.
