00z Euro a hair south with the heavy band, but also lifts the southern edge north.

Yeah that was interesting. Also, has quite a bit of CAPE here before we get hit with a few hours of heavy snow. On the order of 1200-1300. Likely to be a cluster of storms producing hail transitioning to thunder snow and accumulating here 2-4 inches in a  couple hours. How exciting!

Good luck S MN, IA and WI posters. After looking at the models I wasn’t expecting any snow to be in the forecast here. I’m surprised to see 1-3” in the point and the WWA extends up to the southern metro. We need 1.7” to officially hit 80” for the season. I’m done with snow but I’ll root for 1.7”.

Latest RPM run now keeps N IL in the game to see all snow from this event during the day tomorrow.  It'll be tough to accumulate on the roads/sidewalks, but nonetheless, another measurable snow is in the works for Chicago.  Some spots may get 2-3" out of this.

Im on the southern edge of the winter storm warning. 6-8" and it will be daytime. Too bad ill be at work. Would be nice to be home as its prolly last snow of the season. I might be pushing 60" on the season after this. What a comeback

Wow, 60"!  Those big storms in March really helped your seasonal stats.  Ya, this season has been one hellova back-loaded winter.  Looking forward to a front-loaded winter next year... ;) !

Keep in in Cook County please up towards your neck of the woods.

Sitting on the edge, here.  We may end up with a bunch of mixed crap during the intense burst, with heavy snow just north.

For IA peeps this is looking pretty good for you guys. Abundant moisture with elevated cape/instability could lead to at least 1"+ per hour rates for several hours. Not sure how far east this will translate but a pretty compact/powerful storm nonetheless. Could see some hefty amounts west of here.

Yep, the inching south continues on all models.  I'd feel pretty good about snow if I live in Waterloo.  Cedar Rapids is still a mystery.
