GFS even more suppressed south it seems still a decent hit for north central IL

00z ICON way way south congratulations Arkansas Ozarks

what are the inversion heights for this event and the possible Tuesday LE event (gfs event)? delta T should be huge

these storms will add to the snowpack over time increasing the snow water equivalent.., even mixed precip will get soaked in. and colder weather means its going to stick around and add up..we are at midwinter and warmer march isn't that far away although there is a lack of deep snowpack over the upper midwest attm..not the case in MO/IL area last year was very wet ..and soil moisture and rivers are already high, if not in flood a wet spring could be trouble a wildcard to keep an eye on

12z GFS direct hit for N IL..nice lake enhancement then true LE later too for IL/IND border with 850mb temps crashing to -20 bad news: its the GFS so nothing will happen
