Chicago WX Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Most of the models had this impulse and lake enhancement idea. Shouldn't be too big of a surprise. Hoping for a couple of wind-blown flakes here later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Can someone explain how the snow in Illinois is LES (or at least lake-enhanced) with a W/NW flow?It's odd given the SFC and flow aloft is out of the WNW/NW, but there have clearly been LE elements affecting Cook Co (From about Chicago on south), as well as Lake Co (IN).

Powerball Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 perhaps left over seeders from when the flow was more NNE...then as the vort gathered steam...it enhanced things It appears to be old-fashioned deformation snow to me, with lift squarely in the DGZ (ahead of the main trough axis). Somewhat similar to 12/26/09... Any LE connection seems like a stretch at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Loop the radar. Interesting stuff. Semi-persistent area of returns there on the southern part of the lake but doesn't really make sense for there to be lake enhanced precip in that location. Whatever it is, the models seemed to sniff it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fine band that Chicago Storm outlined in his post above does look like a lake signature though. It's a little hard to spot at first since it's mixed in with all the other stuff.
