It was mostly advection driven destabilization.

i'll say, for someone who used to work outdoors, this would have been chalked up a good spring in my books.

it's giving it a go as it approaches you.

we’re not in the game.

solid early summer-like evening.

for the illinois end of the risk tomorrow, it looks like a (big) hailer day. that 5% hatched tor is way overdone.

It wasn’t off based, and did the best within 18-24 hours. Sniffed out the south trend and latched on to it.

due south of you, but well south, along i-88.

Flipped fully over to snow now, with about a 1/2" down.

Flipping between snow and ice pellets since then.

Flipped to ice pellets here a bit ago. Probably 0.1” of accumulation or so.

Looks like guidance finally has a handle on things, as confirmed by how radar is shaping up. Kudos for the Euro leading the way over the past 18-24hrs. There’s going to be one heck of a snowfall gradient from NW-SE across the heart of the LOT CWA.
