No snow here yet. Just windy and cloudy.

 

I think LOT will put a watch up along with DVN by 4pm today.

18z GFS, 4-6 for Chicago/MKE. Overall 6-8 for WI/IL/E. IA both systems combined.

Thursday system came in with more qpf as well.   Could very well be a 2-3 inch snow on Thu and then 4-8 or so for the highest snows for this system.

GGEM would be 6-8/7-9 for MKE between the two systems. Not bad. EURO out to hr 48 so far. A little north with the 1st system

Snow has another 60 miles or so before it gets here. Looking more like an under an inch system.

I think snow ratios will be around 12:1...850's's on the 00z Euro weren't the best for very fluffy snow.  GGEM is showing much colder temps and so is the GFS.  I would say a safe bet would be 12:1 up to 14:1 if the colder solutions transpire.

12z Euro brings 32F up to Kankakee area...850's are only -2C for ORD so that is not ideal for higher snow ratios.  Here is the qpf...

 

Well EURO looks wetter at least. I'd stick with 10:1 for most of storm at least. Solid 6-8 inches seems like. Maybe a tad more in some areas.

ORD may get 8" out of this event....48.2" officially, plus a new 8" would bring the snow total to 56".  That would be a remarkable total snowfall through the end of January.  Probably going to make it to #2 snowiest January on record.

Tom, this snow will fall on Saturday so unfortunately it will not count towards January but still a great way to start the new month!

I know Tony, some snow falls before midnight Friday but yes, your right, most fall on Saturday.  In any case, its still nice to see this much snow already this winter.  It's becoming a dream winter around here.

We might be able to squeeze out an inch or two tomorrow night but it all depends on how fast the WAA gets going in our area. At least something to add to the already impressive January totals.

      April 2024 Weather in the PNW

      I'm rooting for a huge ridge to be sitting over alaska for most of our Denali climb, May 12th(weather permitting)-the end of the month/start of June. When I did my first Denali expedition back in the early 90s, we got horrible weather for almost the entire 3 week expedition, at one point temperatures were -39F with 80+MPH winds and heavy snow, and we never got a good day of weather to summit Denali, which is why I'm going back with the hope of being successful this time. I do NOT want to experience horrible weather like that again.

      There's some big supercells in SE Kansas moving right toward me and its very thick outside with a temp of 76. Really hope I just get the rain but I think it's going to come with some wind and hail.

      Polite Politics

      No, I am being serious. What has gotten into you? I have never taunted you. I have never been mean to you. You have always been polite so I respond in kind, even if I do not agree with some of your points. I genuinely found it funny you responded to my benign post thrice. So I am now befuddled. Because I pointed out that even though a lot of people might say they are sick of partisan politics, they still partake and fall for the common traps to get them to further the cycle, you say: - I love to taunt and that's all I do here - People like me make you want to leave - I piss in the punch bowl and come back for seconds I'm sorry, but that's total bullsh*t. I do not know your friends. I was not insinuating that your friends do that. I was pointing out the bigger picture. Does the fact that I speak my mind bother you? I don't mince words, and I do not take crap from rude, ignorant people. I have never found you to fall into that category, so what gives, Andie?

      April 24-29 Multi Day Central and Southern Plains Severe Weather Outbreak

      Getting a nice steady generous rain here after some thunderstorms rolled through earlier this afternoon… finally passed the 1 inch mark for storm total rainfall earlier. Looks like the heavy swath of convection to the south (in KS/ MO) might eat away at our heavy rain/ thunderstorm potential for tonight… however I am really enjoying this soaking rainfall right now without the destruction from yesterday’s storms.
