Chicago WX

6z Euro did bump north/northwest with part 1. And a bit wetter in the main snow band. If it went past 90 on the op run, looks like part 2 would be a bit further north too. Not enough for up here, but parts of central/southern IL and IN would cash quite nicely I think... And how cool is it that COD has the Euro now with all these variables. 6z and 18z runs too.

Lol, disaster

You have to do some "extra work", and not all the parameters are available for free...but you can see the individuals here. Total precip and snow depth are available. Choose the "switch members" to see the op, control, and all 51 ensembles: https://weather.us/model-charts/euro/illinois/m41_acc-total-precipitation/20220204-1800z.html #41 is my favorite...

I liked your comparison to the Dec 2004 event. Longer duration event that threw down some big totals in the OV. Seems this one might have that potential. But, long ways to go…

Around 34 for STL on the 12z Canadian. Crazy amounts on these models. EDIT: Scratch that. Like 36". Insane.

27.4". Why not?

6z GEFS mean total precip and snowfall. Pretty juicy this far out. Regardless, expect shifting of the snow axis from run to run. Just want to see the models keep the same general idea of a sizable system somewhere in the region. Details TBD on Monday and Tuesday, if it's still warranted...

Let’s f*cking do this.

Going to end with 11.98" of rainfall for met summer IMBY. About half of which (6.14") fell in the last 10 days of June. June: 6.91" July: 1.76" August: 3.31"

0130 PM HEAVY RAIN GIBSON CITY 40.47N 88.37W 08/12/2021 M8.76 INCH FORD IL PUBLIC PRIVATE WEATHER STATION REPORTS 8.76 INCHES OF RAINFALL SINCE MIDNIGHT. 8.1 INCHES OCCURRED WITH MOST RECENT STORMS WHICH BEGAN AT 8:30 AM. MULTIPLE 1 HOUR PERIODS WITH OVER 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL. LIGHT RAIN ONGOING.

1.76" IMBY for July. Nicely drier than the 6.91" in June. Pool time has been on the upswing.

chad and you protesting? #stopthesteal #makelafhotagain

Looks like they fixed LAF. Chad is not thrilled I assume. June 2021 avg high temps LAF: 88.1˚ IND: 83.1˚ July 2021 avg high temps LAF: 81.8˚ IND: 82.3˚

If I had received all the rain WPC has predicted for MBY this summer (and my p&c forecasts as well), I'd be over 30" for the season. Anyways, been a nice couple of days with no rain. Hopefully we can avoid most of it later today and tomorrow as well. Then it looks like a nice warm and dry stretch for a time. Pool time incoming.

Relatively small area of LOT's CWA got raked by heavy rain last night (parts of LaSalle and Grundy counties). Was watching on radar last night, and a north/south band just parked itself over that area and poured. https://www.weather.gov/lot/2021jul12 1019 PM HEAVY RAIN 4 NW VERONA 41.25N 88.55W 07/12/2021 M6.19 INCH GRUNDY IL MESONET 3 HOUR RAINFALL TOTAL OF 6.19 INCHES FROM A PERSONAL WEATHER STATION.

I'm certainly no fan of the high heat/humidity combo...but this struggling to get into the low 70's everyday with solid overcast that'd make January blush, is for the birds. Misery mist at times too.

Can verify first cicadas of the summer. Actually heard a few yesterday afternoon, and thought whoa...they're here. Also, lots and lots of manufactured t&l last night.

5.83" total at mi casa during this stormy stretch (6/23-30). Majority of it was from the 25th thru the early evening of the 26th (4.47").

Finally got under some legit rains here last night...2.02" here from the evening/overnight storms. Really, was expecting worse with how the radar looked when I went to bed. My weather station had a peak hourly rainfall rate of 4.13" at 10:00pm. Ground soaked it up like a sponge though. 3.40" total since this shebang started on Thursday.

This is awful. And only the beginning of several days of rain. So bad…

To beat the LAF issue a little more, here's the average max temp for June through yesterday, for a few sites in Indiana. Yeah, nothing to see here. Chad says its legit. BMG: 80.5 EVV: 81.5 FWA: 81.8 HUF: 82.5 IND 81.2 SBN: 84.8 LAF: 88.3
