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.Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects high uncertainty in National Weather Service forecasts for Chicago O'Hare's highest temperature on April 5, with near-equal implied probabilities for 52-53°F and 56°F or higher amid a clustered distribution around 48-56°F. This stems from divergent global model runs—GFS and ECMWF ensembles showing spread due to timing of an approaching shortwave trough and associated cloud cover, potentially capping highs near normal levels of 55°F or allowing solar heating under partial clearing. Recent Midwest severe weather threats, including Thursday's showers and thunderstorms, have cooled near-term trends, while NOAA's Climate Prediction Center spring outlook indicates equal chances for above- or below-normal temperatures. Watch Friday's 12z model updates and NWS forecast refinements for shifts in ridging influence over the Great Lakes.
