Chicago Storm

looks like a non-event around here. a marginal is questionable enough as it is, let alone an enhanced into portions of the CWA.

Here's the list with OBS locations added. I should note that 9 out of 10 of RFD's least snowy seasons also occurred between 1900 and 1940. So, it was just a period filled with a lot of clunkers. RFD's least snowiest season on record was 2.8" during the 1906/07 season. Least Snowiest Snowfall Seasons1. 9.8" - 1920/21 (Downtown/Loop)2. 11.5" - 1921/22 (Downtown/Loop)3. 12.0" - 1936/37 (South-side/U of Chicago)4. 14.3" - 1948/49 (MDW)5. 17.6" - 2024/25 (ORD)6. 18.0" - 1898/99 (Downtown/Loop)7. 18.2" - 1901/02 (Downtown/Loop)8. 18.9" - 1924/25 (Downtown/Loop)9. 19.0" - 1914/15 (Downtown/Loop)9. 19.0" - 1912/13 (Downtown/Loop)

The 2024/25 snowfall season will finish as the 5th least snowiest on record for Chicago. Also of note, is that with this being the case, the season of 2011/12 has now dropped out of the top 10. Least Snowiest Snowfall Seasons 1. 9.8" - 1920/21 2. 11.5" - 1921/22 3. 12.0" - 1936/37 4. 14.3" - 1948/49 5. 17.6" - 2024/25 6. 18.0" - 1898/99 7. 18.2" - 1901/02 8. 18.9" - 1924/25 9. 19.0" - 1914/15 9. 19.0" - 1912/13

sucks 2 b u.

madwx a solid new addition for mid/longer range views.

time is flying by.

LOT confirmed 2 tornadoes in their CWA from this event. 2 tornadoes in IL. The 2025 LOT CWA tornado count is now 16.

93MPH speed on this little t’storm in Central Illinois.

There already was a t'storm with brief rotation outside of the general thunder in N-C IA.

Zero clue on why the SPC removed the entirety of the risk across E IA and NE MO.

it's going to blast through.

evening trend not your friend.

LOT confirmed 1 tornado in their CWA from this event. 1 tornado in NW IN. The 2025 LOT CWA tornado count is now 14.

solid, but would like a bit more turning in the lower 3km.

definitely a lot of green out there.

tomorrow is intriguing...if evolution can play ball. will it? the morning trend is your friend.

As expected, it was a non-event here at home. The SE metro was able to cash in, on into NW Indiana as well.

Generally, looks like a meh situation around here. See no reason there should be an enhanced into the metro. Even the slight is probably a stretch.

never change.

And over-performing at that. Seeing some OBS with 50-55MPH wind gusts scattered across the state this afternoon, including at MDW. It had looked like a 35-45MPH peak type of deal previously.

getting mini trained here early this morning. love to see it.

counterpoint: it’s not.

Peak wind gust of 47MPH at ORD with the round of high winds this past Friday. Peak wind gust of 49MPH at ORD with the round of high winds yesterday.
