  1. Torrential rain with some snowflakes mixed in, about 34 degrees. Would be nice to switch with the Des Moines folks right around now
  2. I thought 3-5 was attainable downtown but I’d backtrack that to 1-3”. Think most of our accumulation will occur after midnight and lake areas may get a boost from lake enhancement/effect around rush hour. Unfortunate though that ORD will be the “nameplate” for Chicago for this event. It truly is misrepresentative of the actual city.
  3. Just quickly went outside. I’d say it’s about a 70/30 mix rain/snow at the moment in the heart of downtown. Strongest sustained winds i can remember so far this year.
  4. Eh, will probably take another hour still for a turnover here. Oh well, at least I can say that downtown saw some flakes.
  5. Very close to turning over here. Think these brighter echoes to our south will put over the edge.
  6. Flakes mixing in here now, but just a few and far between
  7. Absolutely torrential wind driven rain. Haven’t seen rain this heavy since a mid summer thunderstorm.
  8. Happy to hear changeover is occurring for you. I’m down on Columbus and Randolph, so imagine it’ll be another hour or so before we start seeing the first flakes fly. Hoping for a full changeover by 10 or 11.
  9. Absolutely torrential rain in the loop right now. Looking forward to seeing some of the swells on the Lake tomorrow
  10. Actually surprisingly dry in the loop. Expecting mostly rain until 10:00 or 11:00 and then we'll see the changeover.
  11. Another scenario where I'm sure Romeoville would love to have Cook county split into two advisory zones. Blizzard conditions possible in northwestern Cook, minor accumulations in the southern part of the county along the Lake.
  12. Know it's nowcasting time, but GFS also took a tick South, probably 10-25 miles
  13. 12z NAM a lot more generous on the southern end.
  14. GFS is a bit slower as trends have been so far this evening
  15. Fly into Midway tomorrow at 4:30pm. I changed my flight from 1:00am originally for exactly that reason, hoping to get in before the worst of the wind/snow.
  16. 12z Euro is close to an all snow scenario for Chicago, maybe eve already all snow for ORD where totals approach 12”.
  17. I’m very surprised the GFS has been so steadfastly northwest. I can’t remember the last time the GFS has been northwest of consensus.
  18. I’m inclined to believe the GFS this go around. Each run has been remarkably consistent on the north trend today, and the ensembles are with it. Euro ensembles also shifted northwest a good amount today. Even the King can fail every once in a while.
  19. While we’ve had some snow in the loop so far this season, nothing sticking unfortunately. Has definitely set the mood the past week, but would have liked at least some accumulation!
  20. Wrapping up with the first flakes of this event as some heavier echoes sit over the city.
  21. All rain in Chicago. Lake is just too warm for us this early in the year.
