That cell towards Rockford is looking pretty nasty. I would not doubt funnel cloud somewhere soon in northern burbs at least.

Just got smacked a hr ago with a line of heavy rain and thunderstorms. Surprisingly, there wasent much wind with this round but this next one looks a bit more stronger coming this way.

I can't believe we are still talking possibility of snow. It be amazing to break the record but that is fantasy right now.

I think will have to watch out for next Tuesday. Looks pretty warm and meager on the back-side of this system but might be able to pull in enough cold air ecp if it closes off for some snow across lower Lakes. We have had snow in April before. Not all that to uncommon.

System day 5-6 looks pretty deep. Might be able to pull in enough cold air for some snow across Lakes with this.

The beginning of El Nino era.

I thought it looked a lot colder on instantweathermaps but I guess nevermind looking at NCEP. Wraps in lot of warm. Way to warm. Need to be way SE to keep it cold enough over here. Though C IA/MN/N WI looks good right now.

D**n tight 994mb southern tip of LM.

Looks like it passes across C IL but pretty close here...nice tight thermal boundary setting up in IL with mid 30s far north to mid-upper 60s across south.

I am just hoping we can squeeze enough to break 2nd place over next 10 days. Might be our last chance.

Interesting, GFS still has something going despite lack of cold air but might be enough cold air to work with if we can get a deep and organized system going here. Liking EURO/GGEM constancy lately.

It was a nice scene this morning. It snowed pretty heavily almost white-out conditions. Looks like a chilly day with temps barely crackiing 30 but I see 60s this weekend!

Dusting here. Totally clear but when i look out east I see those nice lake clouds.

56 now at ORD.

It does look to warm up at least for a quick period as next system hits the PAC NW and flow goes zonal.

Maybe a early April fools winter storm in the making Tom.

Not again...

Yeah it caught me off guard. The flakes were pretty big over here. Nice coating. Now 60 on Friday to low 30s and possible accumulating snow Monday! Does not look big but Skiling and LOT hit the word pretty good LOT:

Ouch mid 30's early next week. When will this ever end. Looks like no snow at least.

I am ready to get a tan and 90s GEOS.

I meant air.

Ah beautiful out right now. Reminds me of my childhood. IDK hard to complain but type of weather that makes me passionate. To cold or to warm makes me irate.

GFS not to far from EURO. Think northern camp will be case with this one.

Awesome. It was one of my favorite subjects in school. Loved hearing about the battles during american revolutionary war, roaring 20's, Great Depression and World War 2.

NAM at 84hr lol. This model needs to go in garbage.
