Lol a ton of schools closed around me too. I think they will continue to.

FOR TOMORROW...CONCERNS WILL BE INCREASING SWLY WINDS AND A CHANCEOF SNOW BY LATE AFTERNOON FROM A MID LEVEL IMPULSE DROPPING OUT OFTHE NRN PLAINS. AT THIS TIME...THE MODELS ARE IN POOR AGREEMENT ONTHE EXACT TIMING OF THE BEGINNING OF SNOW AT THE TERMINALS...BUTTHE GENERAL IDEA IS THAT SNOW SHOULD IMPACT ALL OF THE TERMINALSBEGINNING BY THE LATE MORNING HOURS AT RFD AND THE AFTERNOON HOURSIN THE CHICAGO AREA. SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW IS LIKELY WITH THISSYSTEM.LOT seems on board with some sort of accumulation, even has RFD in on it. Really wish LOT would have kept the WCW in place, but temps just didn't get cold enough. Anyone think they will actually see WC readings of -33 tonight? I still have a feeling that the low temps will bust and most areas will stay in the single digits below zero.

Lol my school is not cancelled either! I think every single one that I know of is off I think if schools close tomorrow they will undoubtedly close for Thursday as well. Especially if the warning lasts till 12. Scott I feel you pain.

I don't know how low the temps will go, LOT AFD hinted towards a bit of uncertainty with it. Looks like the temps are dropping a bit now down from 10 to 7.

Suprised that there is a WCW for that long. But LOT usually will adjust it to a WCA as the days go on.

Yeah I don't know I think if there is a WCW in place then they will cancel or give us a late start. They just don't want to risk it.

Exactly, Scott hoping the same for me. I think that they will hopefully keep the warning in place for all of Wednesday. We shall see!

Looks like LOT will go with a WCW after today's snkw event. Looks from Tuesday Night to Early Thursday is going to be the coldest air of the season!

I feel like it's going to far South for me to get anything. I say I got 2" tops as well in Kane.

Do you guys think my flight still maybe delayed fi it's getting in at 10:25 p.m. @ Midway? Looks like the radar is filling in nicely in IA just wondering how far E the heaviest bands will push. New AFD seems like they are favoring the Southern part of the CWA.

Loving the active weather now! Seems like we are getting some pay back for an easy first half of winter and it's fine by me

-16 with a 20 mph wind seems like WCW criteria?

Just thought I would see what you guys think, but how does a flight landing tomorrow at 10:25 p.m. at Midway fare in all of this?

I'll be happy with a solid 3" out of it. But anymore is greatly appreciated!

Looks like the possibility is there for a major severe weather outbreak to occur Tuesday night through Wednesday around our neck of the woods. Would be interesting too see!

Tom, this maybe a stupid question, but is this why the storms, or at least the few "MCS" type systems we have had this year die out once they reach Kane? Is the cooler waters cooling and subsequently capping the atmosphere that far inland? It seems that the line falls apart right after Dekalb and then reintensify as it moves near NW IN or the Southern CWA. I also was thinking about the direction of the winds and if they come off the lake. I know that there is usually or almost always a cap around the counties right near the lake, but this years severe weather season has been terrible, for me at least, and I was wondering if this was the cause; especially after the extremely cold winter we had. Thanks!

Large, maybe another EF-4/EF-5, tornado on the ground in NE. Coleridge NE may be completely destroyed 473 people in the town.

I hope, I've been waiting patiently for a good storm. Seems Cape is high enough, just need to get a good trigger and erode the cap a bit more.

Absolutely devastating tornado in Nebraska. Live feeds show complete destruction of towns. This maybe an EF-5...

Tornado Watch out now! Looks like the only warning, as of now, is on a storm that has survived all morning.

There is a Meso. out now for most of us, looks like only a 20% chance of a watch. Seems like the storms lost a lot of their punch, but still holding out hope for something severe tonight!

Does anyone think Chicago will be included in the watch later tonight? I have some work to do out in Deklab!

Final call before going to bed 1" at most North of I-88, 1-3" South of I-80.

I don't know seems a little off when it gets to the East coast only the 4-6" range when they are talking about 12"+ I do think it looks good for the Northern areas, I just don't see this working out for us this time.

http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/index_loop.php There maybe some back building starting to show up in far Western IA, and maybe even NE but it doesn't look that impressive in all honesty. We shall see I guess, I am going with 2-6" if anything.
