Chicago NWS thru 6pm Sat

18z Euro is drier and more in line with other models.

Chicago NWS Attention then turns toward the next storm system due to arrive in our region this weekend. Ensemble model guidance remains in agreement that an upper-level wave currently halfway between the states of Hawaii and Washington will come ashore and propagate eastward across the contiguous US on Friday and into the Mississippi River Valley on Saturday. As the wave approaches, it may attempt to phase with subtle preceding shortwaves emanating from the remnants of the subtropical jet along the US/Mexico border and a polar wave dropping south out of Canada. The degree of interaction with any of these waves will ultimately influence the eventual evolution of the storm system, which is leading to the usual spread of ensemble outcomes typical for a system 4 days out. Generally speaking, the expectation is for a region of warm- air advection snow to develop across the region early Saturday morning and then to transition to "cold conveyer belt" frontogenesis-driven snow Saturday into Saturday night. Depending on the exact evolution and strength of the system, a warm nose may surge into parts of the area leading to a transition from snow to rain at some point on Saturday. Regardless, the ensemble signal, particularly among the EPS suite, remains strong for our general region to experience impactful snow on Saturday.

AKA Rain Man.

Question BIG IF this storm materializes and the Chicagoland area goes under a winterstorm warning (BIG IF) will this be the 1st time that we have been under 2 warnings before Dec?
