riding it

 

Knocking out three airports in one shot. RIP ORD wx office 

Beavis sounding like a butthead

R/S line collapsing nicely on CC now to the SE and S across Chi metro as heavier returns move in. 

21z HRRR is really legit with the front end thump, especially from about ORD on westward. 0.60”+ QPF by 15z

If anyone has specific LOT centric questions on forecast stuff from today, ask away and I'll try to reply a bit later.

Apologies for the lack of a more in depth meteorological dissertation in the AFD lol - just less and less time available for us on days like this.

Hi, first time long time. What speeds do you think you'll reach on the road driving into LOT on snowy surfaces and will it be a repeat of the other afternoon with large parachutes falling from the sky under 35-40dbz but struggling to accumulate? Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.

So that’s why my P&C went from 5-9 to 2-4 for daytime tomorrow with the removal of the heavy snow terminology. 

Bozochardt has only 3-5” now for areas like Dekalb tomorrow. Kid is going to learn the hard way. 

Borchardt coming into work tonight for LOT and just straight up disagreeing with previous shifts snowfall forecast. Loser

I’ve been at the point for years now that the only things that excite/interest me snowfall wise are big dogs (or at least medium dogs), record/near record occurrences, and abnormal/significant conditions. This one will be none of the aforementioned most likely, so overall interest is low.

However, looks like a solid 2-5”/4-7” kind of situation from SE to NW across the area, with lower amounts near the lake and downtown.

Every storm is different and you may very well be right, but the GFS/GEFS has been a bit too amped at this range with southwest type systems at this range over the past few winters. It's gonna be close and I feel better out here than I would in the city. The EPS mean SLP track has also jogged NW some vs. previous cycles.

12z Euro... the only gripe I have with this run is the defo zone across eastern Iowa is rather weak-looking considering there is a 978 mb low over central IL.

850mb and sfc low are occluding so you're losing your moisture advection into the CCB back that ways. 

Chicago area continues to look like a 4-8"ish event of cement off 1"+ of QPF.

Everything before today was fun. Now it starts to get real.

Actually, not until 3:30pm tomorrow up in hillbilly country.

NAM is wayyy north

A tradition unlike any other 

6:1 ratios in the heart of winter with a deep SLP is rough 

Gotta jinx a rainer somehow. Have at it.

uh, are we restricting this strictly to severe thunderstorms? Minnesota and Wisconsin may receive anywhere from 0-15'' on the back side (could bust). All in 6-8 hours with thundersnow likely.
