    Yea, spreads closer to 20F now. Also, a lot of cold outflow reports, which radar backs up. (Not overly surprising given the background setup)
  2. Chicago Storm
    Because not-so great chasers reported it, thus they confirmed it. Then on the other end, more reputable chasers are on socials right now saying, wut?
  3. Chicago Storm
    Gustnado based on video. Some chasers need to realize that not every twisting dust/dirt whirl is a tornado.
  4. Chicago Storm
    that picture is sick af.
  5. Chicago Storm
    Seems as if that confirmed one may not have been a reality. Numerous chasers in the area reported nothing.

    Bad job across the board, really. This time yesterday, pretty much all guidance had the warm front north of here. Classic I-80 early spring warm front scenario.
  7. Chicago Storm
    It's just that convection has continuously curled into the cold sector. Very dynamic storm system overall.

    Solid yellow/orange sky as this rain/t'storm activity moves in here at home. I dig the dust.
  9. Chicago Storm
    Another round of dust this morning/afternoon...

    hot-take: the wintry side on wednesday night/thursday morning will be more interesting around here than the severe side on wednesday afternoon.

    Figured it's time for this too...

    That particular one is a Silver Maple. So, one of the usual early bloom-ers. However, there are some other species at nearly the same level as well.

    ORD finished with a final event snowfall total of 1.1” yesterday. The seasonal snowfall total is now 15.9".
  14. Chicago Storm
    Final event snowfall total here at home of 2.2”. Not the biggest event of the season, but top 5.

    Rip city.

    Anddddd.....

    I was reading back on the thread and saw this... What's seen here is actually an area of lower CC between areas of precipitation, not an actual tornadic CC sig.

    Anyone's guess on what happens with the snow this morning and afternoon. Guidance is severely struggling with dynamic aspect of things.

    The QLCS ended up hitting here at home between 11:45-11:50PM last night. Ended up with peak wind gusts of 60-65MPH. A weak MV also passed just about overhead as well and there were numerous others across the metro area/NE IL. If a bit more moisture/instability had bit in place, things could have been more fun. We likely would have seen numerous QLCS tornadoes in the area in that case, and a much more significant event region-wide.

    Now officially in the OBS as a present wx obscuration… KORD 151416Z 21022G34KT 4SM DU OVC038 17/07 A2921 RMK AO2 PK WND 21034/1415 DU OVC038 T01670072 $

    The very rare DU remark in the two most recent OBS out of ORD this morning. Not something you see very often, and something I can’t ever recall.
  23. Chicago Storm
    51MPH officially on OBS. Makes sense that things are not uniform.
  24. Chicago Storm
    you're not following reports, are you. 71MPH at the CID airport control tower. widespread 60-80mph reports in e ia.
  25. Chicago Storm
    counter-point: that weak looking stuff is still producing severe level winds/damaging, due to the environment it’s in.
