    too bad temps aren’t colder… .

    Overnight disturbance dusted the area… ORD - 0.4” MDW - 0.1” RFD - 0.5” .

    6z guidance generally came in weaker/east for the most part, and slower developing. Weaker/drier/east is a trend you need not want to see in the Chicago metro/NE Illinois. Shall see if it was a one run blip, or if it actually turns into a trend. .
  4. Chicago Storm
    not really.

    That compact-potent disturbance moving through tonight is doing work out in Iowa. 1-3" reports in E Iowa, snow squall warning near DSM, and probably should have another in E Iowa. There was also a bit of TSSN earlier.

    Chicago/O'Hare received 0.93" of precipitation on January 9th, which broke the record precipitation total for the date of 0.76", which was set in 1946.

    Final storm snowfall totals…ORD - 3.2"MDW - 3.8"RFD - 3.9"

    They like to avoid that situation, because it is indeed a downgrade.

    Cook Co is split into 3 zones for headlines. Will Co has a similar split as well.

    A watch for downtown and near lake areas seems highly questionable at this point. At least for now...
  12. Chicago Storm
    That's not quite how it works. Ratio's would still not be optimal, but you would improve pavement accumulation.

    Here’s a link to a limited amount of experimental output… https://rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/HRRR/Welcome.cgi?dsKey=rrfs_na_3km_dev1_conus_jet&domain=full%3Ahrrr&run_time=10+Jan+2024+-+00Z Latest update that I saw was that after several delays, implementation was planned for end of 2024. The FV3 will also be part of things. Here’s a link the the experimental output from it… https://fim.noaa.gov/FV3new/ The whole system will eventually replace the HRRR, RAP, Hi-Res Window, and NAM’s. .

    The RRFS is a whole ENS package. That is just one experimental hi-res, which yes, also has not performed well. .
  15. Chicago Storm
    y’all have to stop with the NAM. it’s trash and it’s life clock is nearing 0, once the RRFS is implemented successfully. .

    GHD2 can’t even get a mention. With that one temps dropped quite a bit during the long-duration storm. With this one temps will not crash until it’s pretty much wrapped up, as currently modeled that is. So easy toss.
  17. Chicago Storm
    Too bad surface temps look marginal once again for this one around here, should it come to fruition.
  18. Chicago Storm
    and the NAM comes into play… lol. .
  19. Chicago Storm
    Lake effect rain/snow getting going in SE Wisconsin and NE IL. .
  20. Chicago Storm
    The same January event listed for ORD, so two that winter. Prior to that you have to go back to GHD2.

    The last double digit and 12"+ event downtown was Feb 14-16th, 2021. https://www.weather.gov/lot/Feb14-16_HeavySnow The last double digit event at ORD was Jan 30-31st, 2021 and the last 12"+ event was GHD2. https://www.weather.gov/lot/2021jan3031_snow

    I've seen it rip dendrites and pixies like this countless times before, but ripping aggregates like this is a new one.
