Long range NAM doesn’t look terrible for much of central/N IL when you think about how awful this season has been

Absolutely ripping. Best rates of the season, however low that bar is

Yeah if this can continue for awhile might get some decent totals 

Coming down and accumulating nicely in Dekalb now

Nice bright band over the Chicago area, with CC rapidly filling in.

Yeah filling in sooner than i thought it would

Still liking the Dekalb area for max totals based on where the band will likely pivot 

00z NAM coming in HOT for Friday night/Saturday it appears. Wow

Some pretty good returns (up to 50dbz) in central IL, could translate to some good rates further north. 

Hello there, 31 hour RAP!

The hrrr has been coming in colder/snowier with each run tonight for N IL away from the lake (sorry Alek)

It's looking like the Dekalb/SchaumburgStormer area could be in line for the max totals.  Possibly west side of Chicago if trends continue to bump east.

At the moment the EPS/NAM/GEFS all have a bullseye almost right over Dekalb it seems. Will be interesting to see how much the favored area ends up getting 

Did the NAM break? 

If the NAM is right, Friday could be a fun day

Lock in the 12z NAM

Extrapolate the NAM and it’d  likely be a nice long duration hit for most of N IL

What’re rates looking like... .1” /hr?

Pouring rain with a temp of 29. Not ideal

Freezing rain/sleet in DKB, spots where snow blew off already have a coating of ice it seems 

Pretty impressive band moving in from the south

Jeez Walmart is even more packed than usual. Gotta get that last minute bread and milk!

Managed a quick dusting, having cold dry surfaces is a welcome change of pace from trying to accumulate on standing water

Almost seems weird to not have wet slop falling from the sky 

Latest runs of some hi res guidance keep temps below freezing throughout the entirety of the event for along/north of 88. If we can’t get some of the snow/ice to melt off powerlines & trees before CAA kicks in tomorrow along with potential 40+ mph gusts it may be an issue 

Hrrr is laying down over a half inch of ice near the I-80 corridor in N IL. Probably way overdone but I feel like even a fraction of that would cause some issues lol

Ride the GFS lol
