    There it is... tor warned.
  2. Chicago Storm
    Storm needs a tor warning. Two couplets in Lee Co currently, and becoming better defined with closer approach to radar.
  3. Chicago Storm
    There has been a significant meso with the storm moving across Lee Co, with associated WAA wing extending eastward into the Chicago metro.
  4. Chicago Storm
    FFW for Chicago... ~1" of rain in 10min at MDW COOP.
  5. Chicago Storm
    Best looking radar around here in ages.
  6. Chicago Storm
    Might have said this too soon...We'll see.
  7. Chicago Storm
    Main issue is no surface flow. Probably would have produced otherwise.
  8. Chicago Storm
    Can probably toss this now for the most part. Looks like any training with excessive totals will now be more isolated/localized...instead of more widespread as it looked earlier.
  9. Chicago Storm
    The whole area has the same kind of threat...No matter if you're in ORD, IKK or GBG.
  10. Chicago Storm
    While there is a still a SLGT worthy severe risk for the area (even if SPC did trim it, they have been meh), the flood threat looks to steal the show overall. Upwards of 1.00-2.50" of rain fell across a corridor within N Illinois last night/this morning. It looks like a good portion of that corridor will overlap with the heaviest for this afternoon/tonight, with upwards of another 2-5" of rain possible. Could be seeing final totals in that overlap region in excess of 6"...if things line up correctly.

    Quality storms this morning around here. 1.28” rain at ORD this morning and 2.04” here. .
  12. Chicago Storm
    It is definitely much better, as madwx pointed out. Not just for our region either...It has done well in the Plains as well. A recent example was when it nailed the 5/7 event from 1+ day out.
  13. Chicago Storm
    It is. Previous high was <180.
  14. Chicago Storm
    This period at ORD... As mentioned before no records were broken, and it probably was not as significant as it could have been, but still fairly unusual.
  15. Chicago Storm
    Tomorrow definitely holds potential, but all hinges on tonight/tomorrow mornings activity. SGT risk looks good for now, but could need upgrade to ENH in the morning once everything becomes clear.
  16. Chicago Storm
    It's the same temperature.
  17. Chicago Storm
    Local threat possible on Thursday.
  18. Chicago Storm
    But also had the highest test count as well, around 30k.
  19. Chicago Storm
    No records at ORD or RFD during this period. So while highly anomalous and unusual/rare, it wasn't record breaking at official sites in the area.
  20. Chicago Storm
    Had snow flurries here earlier this morning.
  21. Chicago Storm
    ORD didn't report any snow, yet everywhere else surrounding did. Chalk up another observer fail.
  22. Chicago Storm
    All snow here now, coming down at a good clip and with good flake size. Welcome to May.
  23. Chicago Storm
    Flipping to snow here now. Looks like it''ll be brief, with heavier precip looking to quickly exit within the next hour.
  24. Chicago Storm
    0.26" at MKE thus far.
  25. Chicago Storm
    Snow being reported across the northern tier of IL counties now. Temps steadily falling across NE IL, so there's a good shot ORD ends up seeing some flakes.
