Got two videos of the thundersnow… I can go to sleep in peace now. https://imgur.com/a/pubD2KK https://imgur.com/a/ZYInPQz

THUNDERSNOW!!!

Quite hard to measure with the wind gusts, but I’m measuring around 2.5” in the past hour. With close to 3” total accumulation thus far in Wicker Park.

Absolutely ripping here. This feels like thundersnow any mintue now… https://imgur.com/a/6GqbyUD

Pouring snow in Wicker Park area, flake size has definitely improved.

HRRR is liking Lake Co., IL & Kenosha a little more with the 18z.

Overall short term guidance seems pretty consistent with the snow band. 12z suite came a touch west with the main band compared to 06z, but only time will tell. Nevertheless, trying to not get my hopes up too much as we know how these setups can easily pull out of NE IL and into NE IN pretty fast

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!
