    A ton of convection across Central Illinois the past couple of hours, with a lot of lightning and TSSN. There have been several associated pockets of subsidence out and about across the area, one of which has been hanging on around here for a while now. Sitting 5.6" here at home thus far, and sniffing an under-performer.

    Lake enhancement showing up all along the WI shoreline. It might work in a negative way though, with surface temps running a bit higher and snowfall ratios likely a bit lower as well.

    If things continue to pan out as they have thus far, ORD is on track to have a top 5 November snowstorm on record.

    3.4” storm total here at home thus far.
  9. Chicago Storm
    1"/hour snowfall rates here at home currently.
  10. Chicago Storm
    Already snowing here at home, with the ground dusted.

    Has to do with placement/handling of heavier and more convective precip, not actual drying per-se.

    I don't think it will be high end around our area (probably no widespread 12"+ totals that is, unless ratios surprise, which seems doubtful at this time). The metro region as a whole will likely see a general 6-10" overall (locally higher), though. Highest totals will likely be western areas, with the overall setup peaking west and slowly dampening out as it heads east.

    bah, let them play. snow football is the best football, and it definitely was as a kid.

    understatement.

    pretenders. signed, a lowly falcons fan.

    this whole thing is essentially waa.
  17. Chicago Storm
    This is a very good and valid point.

    Today’s trend has been to reverse yesterday’s trend. Yesterday’s we saw guidance come in less phased, less amped and flatter with the main wave…thus, weaker, south and drier. Today’s trend reversed all of that.

    18z Euro…

    Overnight will be 48 hours out from the start in the CWA, so they're going to have to go with a watch with the evening or early morning package.

    Looking over guidance from today, the big thing that sticks out is how much wetter the Euro/EPS are compared to almost all other guidance. We have seen through the years that the Euro tends to be on the drier side more often than not, and when it is, it is usually close to reality. So, it'll be interesting to see how it does with being on the wetter side this go-around.

    CJ is the worst of the worst.

    LOT is 100% going to play it safe this go-around, after the single person blunder with the LES event.
  24. Chicago Storm
    500mb evolution on the 12z Euro is…

    The NAM is tentatively scheduled to be retired in March 2026. After a ton of delays through the years for various reasons, we finally have a time. I'd expect it may shift a bit, but the point is, the end is finally near.
