Probably posted here before, but another fun mesoscale model I look at here has been depicting the north/ central Cook bullseye too on its member #1 that just updated. http://hopwrf.info/
West trend in the lake band didn't correct back yet. Likely headlines for Cook soon? Bet lots of people will be caught off guard for tomorrow morning's commute.
I take it this is a faux wagons west that will correct back east? I would've expected people to at least get hopes up since the trend hasn't stopped yet?
Tons more moisture robbing from those Ohio Valley storms

My work wants me to drive from Chicago to Grand Rapids tomorrow or Tuesday and I'm having a hard time convincing them it's not a great idea given the huge change in the forecast. Big Oof. At least I'll experience lake effect?
Hopefully given the trends, TV channels can start getting the word out. I can see people getting confused when they only get an inch from the Sunday event and are surprised by much more from the main event.
Bit the bullet after lurking for a long long time. Maybe I'll try to most more often if it merits! I also took a few atmosphic science classes in undergrad and grad school at UIUC while studying energy systems engineering. Currently an emerging technology mechanical engineer.
