Was just thinking same thing. Heart of metro may miss out on heaviest totals

I do think cams particularly hrrr are underdone with snow. 1-2in I think is a good bet here. Hrrr barely had half inch.

0z gfs drastically different than cams for areas further south

After 80s on Tues and storm chasing I'm good. Lol. Im so over cold. But would of been cool to get a historical blizzard like this.

Yeah 0z not kind to IL. Lol. Another non event. Ready for spring to stick around

You're in for an epic storm. If i didn't have work Monday I would definitely venture north to document this.

You clearly don't understand how strong cold air advection works especially behind a very powerful sfc low. Will there be massive snow totals down here? No. But there will be snow and it won't take much to get blizzard conditions. A strong cf is going to surge east and as the upper dynamics swing overhead you will get a deformation band stretching far south behind the low.

DVN mentioned the B word. Will be on edge of snowfall gradient here. Shocker. Lol.

I feel your pain. At least you turned around and got something. We were close for Pontiac and saw ground circulation. By time we saw storm was planting a big one we were too far west. I will forever regret that decision.

Did you get on storm later further east or did you see the Kankakee tornado and massive hail? We were on that storm by Pontiac. Got a brief touchdown with wickedly rotating wall cloud. Then storm just quit. We followed it a while. It got an elevated/outflow look and look terrible on radar and I figured it was getting into the more stable air north of boundary. We headed west and boy was that a mistake. One of my biggest chase mistakes of my career. This will sting a while.

Disregard nam. As usual it's way too cool with the sfc temps. Why it doesn't look good for storms. Not enough to break cap. It isn't going to be as cool as it shows.

You need to be banned from forum for this comment. No room for hate in here. Disgusting comment.

This banding has stuck around a while and longer than I anticipated. Nice change after pixie dust all afternoon.

Could this please stay over me for hours. Great flake size and rates now.

Nice frontogenic band setting up over me. Finally getting better rates and bigger flakes. Curious how rest of night will shape up.
