Probably won't be far from the record high on Thu in Chicago.  At this point I'd say within a degree or two.

ORD 75° and MDW 74° in 2020. Seems possible.

one that starts when I get home from work and stops with enough time for the road crews to work their magic for the next day of work

or, a crippling weekend storm that I can use as an excuse to hibernate for a couple days

1.63" of rain here since 6PM.

transformer blew up so our power has been out since 6:30. winds weren't too extreme. hope the power comes back on. jeopardy might not be recording on the dvr

Maybe somebody can post this but vis satellite loop looks like a nuclear bomb went off in N IL in the past ~45 minutes.

The dewpoint gradient out ahead of the warm front is pretty insane here in SW Lower MI.  There is a jump from mid 20s in the northeast to 60 in the far southwest corner.

Wow Alma at 56/19 and Benton Harbor at 59/56

solid 2" of paste here. nice embedded squall just came through. main roads are slushy and back roads mostly snow covered. sitting at 35°

DTX has issued WWAs for the Thumb for 3-6", and Macomb and Oakland Counties for 2-4"

stats from DTX on late season snowfall

71° imby, first 70° day since March 18th, and first day in April above 60°.  Clouds are starting to roll in though.

I see, just another NW Wayne "radar hole". This place seems full of 'em. 

 

that is just one of Wayne County's many potholes being picked up on the nexrad

All snow now. Changed over around 3PM. About an inch on the ground and coming down at a pretty good clip.

Changeover to sleet is happening here, roads are quickly deteriorating. Went from plain rain in Novi to pingers and slidey time on my way home to White Lake. Ne'er a straight road around here.

nice floofs 

Measured 3.2" imby since 7AM

Great timing for the DTX radar

Yup, events usually happen during scheduled radar maintenance. Luckily TDTW is online.
