snow mixing in now here on the NW side of PIA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE, IL 900 PM CST SAT JAN 30 2021 UPDATE 858 PM CST MUCH OF THE GOING FORECAST IS IN GOOD SHAPE. ROLLING ADJUSTMENTS WITH OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS THIS EVENING INCLUDE FOR OGLE, LEE, LASALLE, LIVINGSTON, AND SOUTHERN FORD COUNTIES, WHERE HAVE HELD ONTO MIXED PRECIPITATION LONGER AND DIMINISHED SNOW AMOUNTS. ELSEWHERE CONTINUED SNOW, AT TIMES HEAVY, ALONG WITH BLOWING SNOW REMAINS IN THE FORECAST. FORECAST AMOUNTS IN THESE AREA ARE GENERALLY THE SAME. SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGERY DEPICT THE CENTER OF THE UPPER TO MID-LEVEL CIRCULATION OVER NORTHEAST MISSOURI/FAR SOUTHWEST ILLINOIS AND MOVING SLOWLY NEAR DUE EAST. A SOLID MOISTURE PUMP IS AHEAD OF THIS WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER AT 0.86 ON THE 00Z ILX SOUNDING, IN THE TOP 5TH PERCENTILE FOR TIME OF YEAR. ALSO WITH THE 35-45 KT LOW-LEVEL JET HAS BEEN A WARM NOSE, SAMPLED AT A SURPRISINGLY HIGH +4C AND +5C ON THE 00Z DVN AND ILX SOUNDINGS, RESPECTIVELY. THIS WARM NOSE HAS ONLY SLIGHTLY EASED THUS FAR ACROSS THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA, WITH RADAR CORRELATION COEFFICIENT INDICATING THE MELTING HYDROMETEOR LAYER FROM OGLE/LEE COUNTIES SOUTHEAST TO LIVINGSTON/FORD COUNTIES, AND AT TIMES PROTRUDING NORTH OF THAT REFLECTING HOW STOUT THE LLJ IS TO AT TIMES OFFSET DYNAMIC COOLING. IT'S JUST TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST OF THIS ZONE IN PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN CHICAGO SUBURBS, I-57 CORRIDOR, AND INTO NORTHWEST INDIANA WHERE SOME OF THE HEAVIEST SNOW HAS BEEN. AN EXAMPLE OF THAT GRADIENT IS REFLECTED IN THE FACT THAT RANTOUL (TIP) HAS BEEN REPORTING RAIN THE WHOLE EVENT AND THEN NORTHEAST OF THERE ONLY 30 MILES, MILFORD, IL HAS REPORTED FOUR INCHES OF SNOW AS OF 830 P.M. SO HAVE HELD ONTO A LONGER MIX AND DIMINISHED SNOW AMOUNTS SOME ALONG AND TO THE SOUTH OF THAT LINE. THE GREATEST DIMINISHING WAS OF A COUPLE INCHES AND THAT CAME IN PARTS OF WESTERN LEE AND WESTERN AND SOUTHERN LASALLE AND LIVINGSTON COUNTIES. WILL TWEAK THIS WORDING IN THE UPCOMING WINTER HEADING UPDATE, BUT NO CHANGES PLANNED TO TYPE OF HEADLINES AT THIS JUNCTURE, AS THE MESSAGE IS STILL CONVEYED WELL. IT CONTINUES TO POUR SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE CHICAGOLAND AREA AND INTO NORTHWEST INDIANA ON DEEP ISENTROPIC ASCENT AND TAPPING INTO SOME STEEPER LAPSE RATES ABOVE 550 MB. THESE BETTER LAPSE RATES, ALONG WITH JUST MORE ENHANCED LEFT EXIT REGION JET DYNAMICS, ARE INTO THE KANKAKEE RIVER VALLEY AREA AND NORTHWEST INDIANA. THIS IS WHERE SOME MORE FREQUENT 1/4 TO 1/2 SM VISIBILITIES HAVE BEEN OBSERVED AT AUTOMATED STATIONS OR REPORTED. TRAVEL IS HAZARDOUS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA TONIGHT AND THAT SHOULD CONTINUE, SO GOING MESSAGING CADENCE ON THAT WILL CONTINUE. STILL LOOKS LIKE DIMINISHING OF SNOW INTENSITY WILL HAPPEN THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT, WITH SOME POSSIBLE MIX TO DRIZZLE/FREEZING DRIZZLE. NO CHANGES MADE TO SUNDAY AT THIS TIME. MTF
