00z HRRR will tick northwest again for Chicagoland folks...

Yeah hopefully that bozo who works for ISC can finally up amounts on their snowfall map 

RAP/HRRR in lock step. Look out. Hard to go against that tandem.

Still got time to grab that flight!

I wish brother. Snow has just commenced here with probably 5-9” on the way, more if the HRRR is right and mids start tonight. Smack Joe for me

RAP is the new hotness for DuPage, Will and Cook

Someone needs to dig up the baro post in @Thundersnow12's sig for nostalgic purposes, since I'm pretty sure it was about now 11 years ago that things started to go to hell in a hand basket around these parts.

I still remember reading that exact post when he posted it that night. Great memories

Rule #1, stick with your first call.

Why don’t you sit the next one out, Champ

HRRR says Alek’s call is money 

HRRR is NW with first round through 30hrs

To be fair, comparing the models through 00z Thursday, the RAP isn't wildly different than the other non NAM models. 18z NAMs by far have the sharpest cutoff over northern Illinois. The incoming dry Arctic air mass will clearly play a role in causing the cutoff that all the models are depicting, but I think the NAM is likely being too aggressive with the razor sharp northwest edge.

I've seen multiple times where NAM soundings that are supportive of snow do not show any QPF/snow at that location. This on/off precip binning likely has something to do with the NAM's BMJ convective scheme according to one of our leads.

(O/T but this issue doesn't only arise with snow either. Those on here who chased April 14, 2012 will recall that the NAM did not convect on the KS dryline, which led a decent amount of chasers to go with the Nebraska warm front target.)

I'm ashamed to admit I have been following the RAP since it got in range, and it was actually too far south initially with tomorrow night's overrunning.

The first step is admitting you have a problem. Welcome to the club

Lol..

Hey you remember back in the day what happened to Hoosier storm threads? Lol

You used to have the golden touch. And yeah it helped having geos around.. Damn him! It's his fault! Someone go find hIm! 

Gotta have some fun with this! 

 

Yeah there was that one winter I was on a roll of a hot streak lol 

Cant remember the last time Joe brought the goods

Chicago storm started this one and moved everything from that thread.. 

 

Maybe that's the problem? Lol 

He’s a problem in general lemme tell you 

LOT issued a winter storm watch for Cook county for 6-12"

Getting nervous in Arlington Heights

Ted Phillips in charge of that town now will do that to ya 

Yeah early snows are definitely north and into Chi metro. Geos turned the magnet on from afar

The reign of geos is a distant memory 

Yeah if he still lived there this is probably a 20"er easy with his pull 

18z HRRR with a nearly 12" spread across Cook county. Woof
