Chicago916

Was driving around tons of flooded streets in Lincoln Park and Avondale earlier. Going to be a literal icerink out there tomorrow. If only someone could have cleared all of the crap from the sewer drains to prevent it...

Idk about using global models at short range, but interesting dual maxima of snow on GEFS in NW IL and NE IL. Who knows what happens.

MET from Central IL posted this. Would think this would extend north and east too? https://www.facebook.com/share/17Ay3SJdeN/

Morning storms looking fairly robust too. Saw some peeks of sun outside too

Does Chicago get more snow from this WAA snow than the actual storm? That's the big question lmao

soon to be all of us

I've sensed cautious optimism from you lately. I still think it's strange given the moving pieces we haven't really seen any large swings in guidance. I guess modeling isn't that terrible then

I was just hoping for more thunderstorms, but looks like between snow and thunderstorms, we've landed in the middle so we'll get neither lol

Never been so confused catching up on a thread. Models haven't really changed all too much (kinda wild given the many pieces of energy)? Are we rooting for a miss north? Are we vague posting?

Glancing at the EPS mean qpf and I'm gonna need some see some ensemble members... Lol

EPS big shift South?

The 0z RRFS was actually fairly accurate after all. Single tornadic storm south then elevated cluster of hailers behind it (ducks)

Very cool satellite right now. Lake breeze continuing to move south, but also erosion of the cloud deck moving north. If anyone wants a great resource, I use Victor Gensini's site to have many resources available at once https://atlas.niu.edu/mapwall/

Idk if I buy the more northward trend of the front in IL to continue anymore then it has already, but the more north it trends, the higher the population threatened by a potential strong tornado (no guarantee obviously!)

Those north of the front may still not want to not park their cars outside with the higher risk for large hail with elevated storms.
