  1. This is looking like the real deal for Chicago, of course after I just left town for the next week.
  2. This is some real nice SN, big flakes stacking up -- grass should be covered shortly. A little surprised how fast that transition to snow went being just 4 miles from the lake.
  3. Just changed to mostly snow here in Deerfield.
  4. Wind driven rain in Deerfield. Curious to see what will fall under the heavy returns about to come overhead.
  5. Yeah its all rain and slush here in the loop area. About to make the drive to Deerfield, curious if they’re the same since it’s also a few miles from the lake (although a bit north of the city).
  6. 1.2 miles here. Im gonna get all rain, arent I?
  7. See below post, good info for the mechanics of the rain to snow transition (for Urbana-Champaign but applicable to most areas): https://x.com/vortexjeff/status/1744480403405050115?s=46
  8. Liking the trends so far, a slightly weaker low would produce a more spread the wealth situation in N IL it seems. As long as we can avoid rain here in Chicago, I'll be happy (famous last words).
  9. Downtown chicago here… beating a dead horse but would much rather be on the northern fringe than the southern fringe of the defo axis for this one, especially with the warm lake. This one’s either gonna be nothing or a nice 5-6” imo.
  10. Getting some light showers downtown lol
  11. It wasnt. Yeah this things gonna ride the instability gradient just to the south of Chicago. Kankakee special
  12. “Cool layer” I can barely breathe downtown Chicago right now its still 86/75
  13. Lots of clearing coming - I have a good feeling about today.
  14. At 6:23 saw the end of the Stickney cell https://imgur.com/a/fZAieiG
  15. Agreed, but I think its only a matter of when & where the storms interact with that warm front and instability that is heading northwards.
  16. Clouds thinning out already in loop area. I usually have no faith in strong severe after atmosphere mixing and stabilization this late in the day, but will be interested to see if SPC/forecast models are onto something.
  17. Warned for 90 mph Kendall and Kane Counties in IL
  18. There's no way this last line can miss Chicago now... right? right?? Unless we get the I-39 special where the line hits a wall
  19. Downtown Chicago in the screwhole for round 1
  20. Getting a little concerned for Peoria based on the hook developing on that cell.
  21. Tornado warnings starting to pop up now... here we go
  22. Just measured 65/51 in downtown Chicago, this is definitely overperforming versus what the models were predicting.
  23. Seems like SPC either doesnt like far NE IL for sig. wind/tornadoes or is deliberately trying to avoid showing the moderate risk over the lake And with NE storm motion (not SE) the boundaries seem a bit confusing to me.
  24. Interesting that the MO storms seem to have fizzled out/coverage is less than modeled.
