[Chicago Storm]

As with any other year… For the days/events that are not thread worthy.

How are things looking for Wednesday? Just happy that it looks to be a during the day sort of affair for any storms that do pop up at least

Moisture return doesn't look nearly as pristine.

But dynamically-speaking, there's potential.

I'm definitely interested in the cold core potential Wednesday. Dew points look marginal but mid level temps are frigid leading to steep low level lapse rates. It seems like a good opportunity for low topped supercells at least and maybe even a tornado threat. It's local for me so there's a good chance I'll be out chasing if this doesn't down trend.

Looks more interesting than last Friday from a chase standpoint from where I'm coming from.

Hi-res popping a beautiful string of pearls from the surface low southeastward in a nice arc.  If moisture can pool enough in front of that triple point a few tors would definitely be possible.

February 8th 2024 definitely opened my eyes to the range of surface T/Td conditions in which significant are possible, along with Winterset day in 2022.
