Earlier today, the temperature reached -6° in Chicago. That was Chicago's coldest temperature since January 2, 2018 when the mercury fell to -9°. A much colder air mass could move into the region by the middle of next week. If some of the guidance is accurate, Chicago could experience its lowest temperature in more than 25 years.

Some of the guidance is showing all time low temps and all time low max.

3” increase in totals says the HRRR over the last 3-4 runs. But like you said, southern Cook could only see 3” while northern Cook sees 7-8” (not including LE, just talking about the next 20 hours)

Since we really don't know how the lake bands will set up, there is a chance that S. Cook could do ok. I never trust where a model says lake effect will set up. I'm in the N. side of Chicago, so I'm feeling pretty good about this setup right now. Fingers crossed.

LOT is still being very aggressive with their storm totals near the lake. This includes lake effect.
