Sciascia Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Once again, a tricky forecast to try nailing for LOT when models continue to shift areas of warning criteria snow in the NW areas. Although, selfishly, the most recent Euro would be insane for my area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlew Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 That jives with what I’m measuring 1-2mi north of the airport. Edit: actually maybe 7.3 officially, the 7.6 was at NWS office? Academic though.Hard to be disappointed about the relative “underperformance” with those numbers across the metro at our latitude. Especially knowing it was always gonna be a +/- 50 miles situation with the heaviest band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malacka11 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Will certainly be a fun 24 hours. See how long it'll take gusts to start, hoping for some good GV storms maybe in a few hours, and I'd love to reel in some surprise death band tomorrow morning with winds but not holding onto that one ofc. Would love to see it happen though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Got to hand it to the GFS. Nailed the placement of the jackpot zone many days ago. Today is going to be a lot of fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Not a flake here in town yet. They still think L superior will produce along the shore tho with 3+". Looks like 1-2" across N WI into EC MN so far. Here's the CoCoRahs site to get a better look at totals. They don't always get uploaded to the snow map right away. Just click the map (will open in a new tab), and make your parameter adjustments with the map options. https://www.cocorahs.org/ EDIT: Soon as I post this, --SN started.

cyclone77 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 The infamous severe thunderstorm warning box within a blizzard warning. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSNOW Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 chicago updated We have opted to upgrade the Winter Storm Watch across our northwest to a Winter Storm Warning from 7 pm this evening through 1 pm Monday. We strongly considered a Blizzard Warning, but have opted to hold off on that at this time, though cannot rule out the need to upgrade as the event unfolds this evening. Either way the combination of falling and accumulating snow with widespread blowing snow and gusty northwest winds (up to 50 mph) will make for near blizzard conditions at times tonight into Monday morning across northwestern IL. Total snowfall amounts in the warned area are expected to be in the 3 to 6 inch range. In addition to the warning, we have also opted to issue a Winter Weather Advisory from 10 pm tonight through 1 pm Monday for areas east-southeast of the Winter Storm Warning. This basically includes areas nearly as far southeast as the I-55 corridor. Snowfall amounts in this region are expected to be lighter, generally in the 1 to 3 inch range. However, the combination of the snow and blowing snow will also make for hazardous conditions outside of the Warning area Monday morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Temp holding steady at 32F here. A light glaze on above ground surfaces and had some pea size hail earlier. Watching reports out to the west, waiting for switchover later this afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago916 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Idk about using global models at short range, but interesting dual maxima of snow on GEFS in NW IL and NE IL. Who knows what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 10 minutes ago, Malacka11 said: So mysterious Not really. He’s basically saying still a lot of moving parts and not to trust anyone solution. Which is playing out in real time. Note the model shifts just in the last 12 hours. Which is why I complemented LOT. Issued a conservative call but with some flexibility if short term trends change. Looks like 2-4 still in play here in Dupage. I’ll take it and than gladly close the book. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
