Chicago Storm

Final storm snowfall totals from around the area... 1.2" ORD 0.5" MDW 7.4" RFD

Two issues though... For one, widespread warning criteria snowfall amounts did not occur in Lake or Northern Cook counties. Those type of amounts did occur in Northern Ogle, Winnebago, Boone and McHenry counties though. However, that sort of outcome for much of that corridor had very little in the way of support going into the event. As we all know, higher corridors often do occur, as do 'screw zone' corridors. As much as I tend to hate on the NWS at times (More-so the SPC), their headlines were perfectly fine in the LOT CWA.

Snowfall totals of 1.2” at ORD, 0.5” at MDW and 7.3” at RFD as of 6AM. .

We're well into March now, so it's about time...

It's more along the lines of an (Ensemble) forecast system.

I’m able to replicate the issue.

Snowfall totals of 0.3" at ORD and 6.8" at RFD as of midnight. SNINCR at ORD during the midnight hour, so somewhere near 1" total snowfall now. KORD 100651Z 06007KT 1SM R10L/P6000FT -SN BR OVC004 01/M01 A2997 RMK AO2 SLP156 SNINCR 1/1 P0007 T00061011

Recently flipped back to all snow, and probably for good. We’ll see if anything ends up accumulating. .

Mostly rain ever since then. as marginal as this one was, it's doa.

Quickly transitioned to -RASN, which it has been since. Flipped to -SN about a half hour ago. Non-measurable dusting thus far.

Quickly transitioned to -RASN, which it has been since.

-SN has commenced here at ORD. .

39 was the peak temp at MKE. Down to 34 with +SN now.

bump.

The sky is filled with virga here at ORD.

DVN went from 39 to 34 in less than an hour as precip moved in. So it can and will happen.

And on that note, the lake enhancement looks quite marginal in itself. .

Today I ironically came across some newer info regarding this... And the transition has been changed to 2024.

does ricky know that you're living in the afd? but really though, nothing really supports warning amounts on a widespread basis (headlines are not always issued based on amount criteria anymore, though).

It is expected that they will be, but an update has not been issued that I've seen. 12km (OP) NAM, 3km NAM, RAP, HRRR and other hi-res will be discontinued, all to be replaced by the RRF.

This most definitely isn't a bowling ball situation. Some seem to have forgotten what exactly one of those look like, but that's not surprising given it's been quite a while since we've actually seen one.

Re: RFD snowfall totals, the snow measuring out of there is not the best...So use with caution.

if you haven't already, try the same with pork chops.

Top-down saturation, something often seen during the cold season.

if he’s deleted, all of the threads he started are also deleted. so that’s a no. .
