Winter 2025-26 Short Range Discussion

[Chicago WX]

Need 2.2" to hit 20" for the season. A couple of days ago, thought that was a lock between the two waves. Now, better chance at not seeing a flake from both.  

Pulling for the folks in central IL/IN. Hope these systems overachieve for you.

This clipper is Peoria's storm. I can feel it!

 

Not looking like it anymore. Keeps shifting south and less qpf on morning runs. At this point 2in is probably generous here. Maybe 3in if we get into good banding. Hoping Sat can pan out better cuz this one has really downtrended.

Already coming down nicely where I am in Grinnell. Coating on most surfaces. Very happy with this pattern, unfortunate it has to end after this week.

Is it still possible Friday night lake fluff burst could over perform?  GRR backed off the talk of 3-5” :(.  Inversion lowers fast and DGZ is low.  Last chance to beautify the pack before the big melt.

Brutal cutoff. Band has stalled barely to my wsw. Will be lucky to see 1-2in probably. This is painful
