Appreciate the in-depth review for Chicagoland. It seems reasonable but is this for areas away from the Lake and north of the city ? Lots of talk of 3-5 inches max for city and lakeshore and rain for hours on Friday ?
Crazy how the lake I assume can reduce amounts and then you go just west a little and you are at 10 inches. That sucks for us near the shore or in downtown. Is there anyway that the shore or downtown can get in that 10 inch range ?
If you had to guess precip amounts for downtown what do you think is your call and could that change tomorrow based on future runs of the models or are you pretty set ?
I will be in Chicago on Friday so I am for sure pulling for the Euro. Wow thats amazing. Lets see if the GFS folds to the Euro or vice versa as we go through tonight
Flying into Chicago tomorrow late morning and enjoying the trends further south allowing more snow into Chi town. Better then rain. I will even take some mixed bag of stuff.
As we get this close should be put more focus on the models like the HRRR and others that are better in this close timeframe then the longer range models ? Just asking due to my ignorance. thanks
