Also not showing where the heaviest will likely setup in the cwa, which will be from around Tipton to Rockford/Freeport. 4-6" potential there, with 2-3"/isolated higher amounts east of that band. EDIT: I guess they do have 4-6" for the Freeport/Rockford area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddrix1977 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Chicago looks to get the higher end of the advisory plus some localized 6-7 inch. I feel an over performer coming and a really nice end to a great stretch of snowy weather. Its been several years since we've had this. This is what us snow lovers live for.

Stebo Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Unfortunately it looks like the warm air aloft is going to be a bit more aggressive than I thought, looks like we will be getting a mix bag tomorrow morning locally. Just hope we can avoid as much freezing rain as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Been snowing pretty nicely the past hour and a half or so. Eyeballing out the back window it looks like about 3/4-1" so far. Nice flake size when the more enhanced bands are overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the best convergence is to your southeast tonight. RAP and HRRR isn't sharp enough with that northwest gradient. Sometimes the high-res models aren't high-res enough lol.

UMB WX Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Gonna be a grinder up here with small flake size but i figured that going in to it. Not a lot more delightful than experiencing what you all down south have gracing the floodlights Getting a few attitude gust from the wind so this wont stack up as evenly as most of the snow this yr.

cyclone77 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Estimating about 1-1.5" here via looking out the window. Still coming down nicely. The progressive nature of this open wave will keep things from getting too out of hand. HRRR shows intensities winding down pretty quickly after 10z, which radar trends support.

I wonder how long the 1"/hr rates can keep up. It likely will for many areas... However, it looks like that lull will make it further north than the earlier thought I-80, probably up around ORD now. Might displace the highest of totals more towards the northern burbs/near the border, instead of the heart of the metro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMB WX Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Looks like close to an Inch in a little over two hrs.
