I didn't see it on the previous outlooks (maybe I missed it) but there's a 10% hatched tornado probs for WI thru NE IL and NW IN. Pretty narrow corridor due to the expectation of the discrete cells transitioning to a linear complex quickly, I'd imagine. Should be an interesting day.

McLean, IL cell has that look to it

We went from heavy storms to sun really fast here. Timing with the front may be just too late here

Yeah lots less AM convection than anticipated. Suns peeking out in NE IL.

Rockin with some big flakes now in West Town! Hope this phase is an over performer after earlier today’s under performer.

Flake size & rates definitely improved in the loop. Was miserable grabbing lunch with the wind-whipped flakes.

We will see, it’s still early. On HRRR/RAP the organized band wasn’t shown to really get going until later overnight.

HRRR now showing the LE plume sitting in MKE tonight as well as extreme SE Cook County tomorrow. Let’s see what happens!

Got a quick hit from a lake effect snow shower and it quickly dusted the area. Hope to get at least a few inches from the next 24 hours to whiten the area!

HRRR keeps trending further NW and orienting it more SW-NE with the LE band for tonight. Now parking it closer to MKE. Edit: At least LE may be the only thing Wisconsin will win today...

That makes sense. Im half kidding keeping false hope after being missed by synoptic snow and mostly missed by LE in Chicago downtown

Ride the GEM. Looks to orient the band more N-S and focus LE closer to Evanston and the Chicago metro.

Been lurking for a while, but my birthday is Jan 12th a good snowstorm would be a great birthday gift

Wondering if the main bow near Oregon, IL will dive south of Chicago. Interesting that portion is warned for 70 while the parts N and S are warned for 80.

86mph observed winds already in Buchanan, IA
