65/57 in DeKalb Co w/sun. The fuse is lit

Can easily justify high risks where the moderates were placed yesterday stretching into N central IL

Seems like it’s going to be one of those days where everything is going to be spinning. HRRR continuing to show multiple significant updraft helicity tracks through IL.

Absolutely terrifying map. Major nados through multiple major IL metros. Definitely starting to look like all systems go for a major outbreak.

LOT pounding it too. Concern for several tornadoes into the area, including a noted risk for significant/long- track tornadoes, continues to increase with the latest forecast guidance. This guidance puts the low-level wind/thermo tornado parameter space into the upper-echelon climatology of values for our area, highlighted by significant 0-1km EHI and 0-3km CAPE that will be realized by discrete supercells. At this point, the highest threat area for tornadoes appears to be near/west of I-39. However, the eastward extent of the highest supercell/tornado risk will be determined by how quickly convection evolves toward a linear mode.

Just your everyday string of supercells plowing through IA/IL

Ground speed will be a big issue if this or Friday’s setup drops something sig. A major wedge moving at 50+ mph would be wild and terrifying.

Has discrete sups heading towards the metro.

I had previously taken the week off (kids on spring break), but I will probably stay hyperlocal and let the storms come to me. Not much margin for error if you target the wrong spot with 50+ mph storm motions.

Shocked. Just shocked… that the warm front got hung up on I-80. It’s that time of the year where it’s 65 in LaSalle and 45 in DeKalb.

That would have bounced my winter grade to an F+. Fucking abysmal for a snow weenie

Another shithole “storm”, another slushy inch.

Depth change map on the 18z NAM would be my biggest snow of the year... In basically April as is the tradition.

Down in Will Co today, some legit snow squalls. Top 5 event

Hoping this weekend is our last real "cold" push of the season.

Tulips are popping. Lets move on to spring.

Quality mood flakes. Shame it’s march, not December…

Got more snow in the past 3 days than I had from November to late January. A touch over 6” the past few days

Got about 3” on grass surfaces

Another “storm”, another brutal gradient. <3” here while RFD makes a run at 7

2.4” on the board, but compaction and melting has a good bet less on the grass

Pound town

Melted off the turd duster we had, flakes starting to fly again

This is a yawner even by this years low bar

Dry air making itself known around LOT. Classic radar donut hole.
