The official Chicago records have been at O’Hare since 1980 and were at Midway Airport 1942-79. Prior to that they were even closer to the lake. Keeping this in mind: the official Chicago record heaviest Nov snowfall for a single storm is 12.0” (11/25-6 of 1895). That was from a strong low (rather than pure Lake Effect) that moved from N Miss to E of MI per old wx maps. Like @donsutherland1said, it’s highly unlikely this will even be close to 12” officially. (I saw that he predicted ~4”.)THE FOLLOWING IS THE UPDATED LIST OF THE LARGEST SNOW EVENTSDURING THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER FOR CHICAGO DURING THE PERIOD OFRECORD...WHICH IS SINCE 1884:RANK DATES EVENT SNOWFALL /IN/-----------------------------------------1.

My thinking is later on there will be a phoon headed towards China the next couple days,this will pump up the heights from the Yellow Sea into Japan along with the MJO headed into the WP,so that should be height rises towards Mid Nove for a few days,guess the good news right now is the MJO could possibly go into the COD,but anyways what the EPS seems to be showing today is a trough going thru East Asia round the 15th,so we'd probably be seeing a CF right before thanksgiving and back to BN temps at least for a bit..JMO

climate breakdown? sounds like a great time to me, and granted a little early in the season, but climate breakdown??? i need explanation.

Is it lake enhanced? .

It's nearly to the western coast of Luzon at this point, for the center on the IR satellite.

RAP and HRRR give us a radar presentation like a little cyclone tomorrow. I wonder if that will verify?

They rip

Fung-Wong just made landfall in central Luzon as a 115-mph typhoon, very large storm too. It’s forecast to move across Luzon at a good clip, so hopefully doesn’t cause too many flooding problems.

Sending good vibes and torches to the homies back home. Let’s keep that southerly flow going!

Took a tour through some cams across Porter County. Looks like perhaps a RA/SN mix along the 94 corridor. But down towards Valparaiso, snowing heavy & accumulating nicely.

Temp has started falling here. It's down 6 degrees in the last 45 minutes.

Not in the city. Again I think of ORD, but I don’t see the city getting huge amounts. Maybe right on the beach gets a foot? SE of them will pound.

OVC, 34/32F, Going to be a chilly week.

Should be a fun on folks. 12z Nam 3km has my location getting 3” or so inches of snow and the higher parts of the neighborhood getting 5”-6” per the WeatherFront App. I have never been able to zoom in so close on a snowfall map so we will see how accurate that is. Anyways looking forward to our first chance of the year!

3 to 5 feet locally per NWS

I’m liking the trends on the HRRR locally. It keeps the main band overhead for several hours this late afternoon and evening before the mesolow swings through. Tomorrow afternoon and evening will have to be closely watched out here for round 2.

60 right now. Amazing out. Let’s get the GFS run and have stein blocking.

Gonna need to be on the water I think. I always think ORD as Chicago because that’s where I used to forecast for. They always underwhelm. Still want to be SE of the city, but they’ll get snow. Looks like they get the comms head briefly and may pound then, but after that as Dendy said, they’ll be a narrow band and a few miles means moonshine or pound town.

Reel it in fellas. Hope to see some magical photos tomorrow.

`Well there you go... if what you are saying is true ( bold ^ ...I'll leave that up to you) than it shows - this just a little logic application and critical analysis, they are dubious (and immoral by the way) without even knowing their history.

Thoughts on Grunkemeyer? I'm pleased with his progress over 3 starts, especially given who he's faced.

The drop off from Chicago to Joliet would me maddening.

It’s felt quite autumn like for a good month now..so yes.

The last month has averaged a hair AN, but we haven’t had anything absurd since the first week of October. Of course everyone know’s my opinion about the new normals, but we don’t need to go there after Friday.

What are you trying to do? You obviously feel the need to keep stirring the pot. Why? This is a weather forum. Obviously we all have different ideas on things. I suggest you stop the instigating, and stick to weather discussions. If you want to talk politics or what not, we have a thread for those things. So you can Take it there.
