Ukie still with a big hit

This would be one of the biggest hailstones on record east of the Mississippi River. And perhaps the biggest on record for Illinois... not sure though.

GFS Ensembles still tend to agree with the operational.

I think if the track is vaguely right anyone above 500 feet and closer to the foothills would have a solid chance at scoring. But yeah, for a county wide score it has to really be precise.

Yea its so marginal so probably not worth much at this point. Only a narrow area will see snow where precip intensity is enough at upper levels are just able to support snow. Right now looks like the south sound but could change.
