- Lake enhanced snow tapers off this evening
Expect about another half inch to inch of snow this evening near
Lake Michigan before subsidence associated with surface and upper
ridging moves in and puts an end to the activity shortly after
midnight.
- Mid-week storm
Attention continues to focus on forecast details indicated by
ensemble trends for Wednesday-Thursday. The best bet at this point
is to find a middle ground between the GFS and ECMWF precip
totals, which currently would translate to rain amounts of 0.5 to
0.75 Wednesday followed by 6 to 10 inches of snow on Thursday.
The GFS mean is closer to 10 inches, while the ECMWF is around 6
inches, with the higher amounts displaced further south than the
GFS, although the 12Z ECMWF has trended a bit closer to the GFS.
There is also a signal for some icing during the transition from
rain to snow Wednesday night, but details on this are inherently
even lower confidence than snow totals.
In summary, the potential for snowfall greater than 5 inches
across much of the forecast area between Wednesday night and
Thursday evening may be increasing.
