Same here in downtown Dekalb. Don’t think it’s going to be pretty once 40+ gusts work their way in

Noticing any power issues by you?

Wouldn’t be surprised if most everything in that area is going to be a disaster by morning, can only imagine with another 6ish hours of this.

About .2” of ice in DKB on top of about .7” of snow/sleet that fell earlier. Was surprised things are as icy as they are, as it wasn’t too bad just a couple hours ago. Certainly an interesting night ahead

GFS is a bit further south, keeps areas near/north of I-80 mostly/all snow

2 ice storms in 7 days but I will say I think this one has the potential to be worse, with the last storm being a shorter duration/heavier precipitation event limiting accretion.

AN AREA OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT ROCK ISLAND...NORTHWESTERN MERCER...SCOTT...EASTERN MUSCATINE AND SOUTH CENTRAL CLINTON COUNTIES UNTIL 630 PM CST... At 547 PM CST, strong thunderstorms were located near Fairport, or near Muscatine, moving northeast at 60 mph. Sleet and half inch hail are possible with these storms. Locations impacted include... Davenport, Moline, Rock Island, Bettendorf, Muscatine, East Moline, Durant, Silvis, Eldridge, DeWitt, Milan, Le Claire, Coal Valley, Hampton, Port Byron, Walcott, Blue Grass, Buffalo, Andalusia and Rapids City. This includes the following highways... Interstate 74 in Iowa between mile markers 1 and 5. Interstate 80 in Iowa between mile markers 280 and 306. Interstate 80 in Illinois between mile markers 1 and 4. Interstate 74 in Illinois between mile markers 1 and 6. Interstate 88 between mile markers 1 and 6. Interstate 280 between mile markers 1 and 18. Torrential rainfall is also occurring with this storm, and may lead to ponding of water on roadways. With temperatures in the upper 20s to low 30s, rapid icing is also possible on surfaces. Frequent lightning is occurring with this storms. Lightning can strike 10 miles away from a thunderstorm. Seek a safe shelter inside a building or vehicle.

You won’t see a map like this for quite some time at 4:55pm in Chicago..

It’s almost unfathomable at this point

Was just gonna say, the fog late this week/ early next week is gonna be pretty bad at times.

Set at the default 10:1 ratio or did you change it?

New NAM is quite a bit south. Here we go again!

Also the last few systems they’ve played catch up big time leading up to an event

Think LOT will have to extend warnings south a tier?

03z SREF ticked south too a decent amount. If trends continue warnings may need to be extended a county south

Anyone have a euro kuchera map?

South trend is our friend, still plenty of time

Bump south

Major changes occurred 12 hours before onset of the last system, nothing is set in stone just yet

GFS is a bit south, gets some better snows near/just south of the low track. CMC May be coming in a bit south too. EDIT: CMC is actually noteably south, looks to be trying to head back towards where it was before almost

It is. Wouldn’t completely count out a shift south enough to bring some heavier snows (maybe 6-9”) south 50 miles or so. Especially with what happened with the last system.

That is true, I was looking at snowfall mean which did shift south but actual amounts are lower. My mistake

21z SREF plumes are a touch south of 15z

Well that NAM run was better than I expected, the bleeding needed to be stopped
