Chicago Storm

Wind is gusting to 60-70 mph in wc IA and ec NE.  DVN has issued a blizzard warning for my area.  I'm not sure we'll get enough snow to justify that.

they need to bring back blowing snow advisories.

the simplification movement to elimination those, and instead use a winter storm/blizzard warning or winter weather advisory, seems bad.

Odds are this still misses this area to the S/SE, given all that needs to come together alignment/phase wise to get it NW.

tell me what this looks like…

Soooo. We realistically are still too north for the weekend system right? Kinda seems like a northern feature has sped up and is now phasing with the ejected cutoff and pumping up the SE ridge enough to just about get precipitation up this way? Would love an expert's opinion here lol

Would also love an expert's opinion. Would definitely be a long ways to trend but it wouldn't take too many jumps at tonight's pace

yea, i don't get that wwa expansion southward.

the trend today has been north and drier.

edit: latest rap and hrrr are completely dry across the area now.

guidance is all over the place with the narrow snowfall axis for tonight.

past history would tell you that the border always cashes in on this type of scenario, though.

Light snowfall accumulation with the clipper on Sunday...

Final snowfall totals
0.7" - ORD
1.0" - RFD

…2025/26 Season Snowfall...
23.3" - ORD
22.4" - RFD

worst fans in sports, hope they suffered watching the in state basketball school do what they'll never do again

Shame it's forecasted to be cloudy and dangerously cold since there's a great northern lights opportunity tonight. 

there *may* be a window early, right after sunset, before the more widespread clouds move in.

possibly another window late, after 1am, if the cme effects are longer lasting.

A lot of my ATL buddies feel the same way. TBH I thought Rah was good down the stretch and would have given Zac Robinson another shot. The offense dominated my Bucs anyway.

raheem was a terrible hire in the first place. he was mediocre in tampa as hc and was mediocre as interim hc for the falcons.

i had high hopes for zac robinson, but he was a complete flop.

Does anyone know of a reliable current snow cover map for the Midwest? 

Verbatim, if something like the latest Canadian happens, wouldn't the thermodynamics for lake effect be nuclear given the Arctic air mass? Doubt that happens though but the timing of the cold air could allow for that. 

What a horrible coaching hire, 40% winning percentage.

Solid snow squalls working through the area currently.

Gusting 35-40MPH with +SN here at home.

True.

And who cares who wins or loses that...

these seahawk and patriot teams are likable, unlike the ones of the past.
