I live in Sofla, was up there last weekend(a week too early but i did get the pre-xmas ground blizzard last year, missed the fort laud tornado last weekend) and its was raw the whole time but the snow looked good albeit very modest totals. Congrats on this sytem and avoid dry slots the rest of the season.

Go outside

GFS vs Euro with very different solutions, we see it consistently in the tropics, especially with deep systems. Congrats on the wintry pattern, I was there for 3 days, left yeaterday, snow on the trees was scenic.

Thoughts and prayers from a floridian, the recovery efforts wiil take time from the light rain and breezy conditions.

Its like the hurricane cone of confusion on accu weather, all interests from Brownsville to Nova Scotia are in play.

That storm delivered even with traveler advisory totals in chicago. Back to blustry south florida,wont even hit 60 this weekend. Good luck the rest of the winter with big totals.

Barely travelers advisory criteria.

close the road if its that dangerous

Flurries in Naperville, no wind

Too bad the gulf never fully opened for business.

1-4, snow and blowing snow

Good shot of verifying with those ranges.

We dont need much to it get back to ne illinois. Baby steps and a slight trajectory change upstream and you have something. Model bleed has slowed for now.

Post of the day, you beat me to it..to understand what is happening, you must look beyond your CWA

When its all said and done, todays sofla event might be bigger than the midwest event. There is a low moving across the gulf, giving us rain and choking the moisture feed for the midwest system. NWS Miami @NWSMiami @NWSWPC has placed all of South Florida in a Marginal Risk (1 of 4) of excessive rainfall. This means that isolated flash flooding is possible, especially in vulnerable urban locations.

not really palm tree weather in florida this weekend but better than windchills

They working with mostly the same data we are, it is what it is and they have to take stand at some point and they did.

This won't be needed, at least for me.

2 is far more likely than 4 at this point

This afternoon if this trend continues, there shouldn't be a wsw just because of holiday travel....i could make case there are more people travelling around northern illinois on a normal workday then during the holiday when people are sitting at home on their arse hitting refresh on this board..

The WSW for northern illinois is in jeopardy to be honest. Good Luck the rest of the season, my trip to to chgo appears to be with limited fanfare and thats ok...hurricane season is right around the corner, lol. The trend is definitely not Northern Illinois' friend. BTW, this is why the hurricane center never deviates from their watch/warning criteria regardless of holidays or other subjective criteria, its all science and zero deviation ever. They do have a "Potential Tropical Cyclone" package at their disposal for situations where it hasn't developed but has shot at hitting land. Potential Winter Storm would have been good for LOT yesterday. A high wind event isnt a Winter Storm and that's where this heading.

1-4 with blowing snow for the LOT service area, happy holidays from santa claus

The blend is finally in control...i thought a track could be nailed tomorrow night but tomorrow morning looking realistic..i think we see a nudge to the east, SW lower michigan looks real good right now

I said considering the pressure gradiant, snow amounts will be weak in most areas but you put big winds on a few inches of snow you get black ice, power outages, etc.

Seems like a win for a big chunk of this sub considering the pressure gradient. If two weeks ago i said he you get a white xmas and 50 mph winds, you would have been doing back flips.
