    Chicago & Midwest Heat: 90s, Dew Points, Lake Michigan Winds + 60645 Zmanim | Oct. 12, 2026
    12 Oct 2026
    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.

    Reporte breve en español sobre el huracán Simón frente a México. Versión en audio del video de Weather With Enthusiasm, con narración generada con IA y una banda sonora instrumental original para este episodio.

    Este episodio resume el aviso 21 del Centro Nacional de Huracanes (NHC), emitido el 12 de octubre de 2026 a las 15:00 UTC (8:00 a. m. MST). No necesariamente corresponde al aviso más reciente cuando lo escuches.
