ORD has bagged another 70.
-
So here's something that is kind of impressive for this time of year. Snow in the waa wing of this system. Not some narrow, dynamically cooled band northwest of the surface low.
-
Not true... there are exceptions. Need to evaluate on a case by case basis as a couple hours of recovery either way can have a sig impact on a severe threat.
-
Not that this is breaking news, but tomorrow still looks a bit messy. Not sure what to think locally.
-
The latitudinal extent of the ENH on Wednesday is fairly impressive.
-
A number of the more notorious tornado outbreaks in the region have had this... like a dryline or at least hybrid dryline feature. Palm Sunday had it. Another one that had, and one of the more extreme examples of it, was 4/3/1956. I remember seeing a midday surface map with dews in the 60s in places like Milwaukee and Chicago and dews in the 20s around Rockford and Madison, and they were still out ahead of the synoptic cold front.
-
Agreed. The best severe wx could be south of I-80, but the reasoning being used is not correct. The warm front won't get hung up in IL in this situation.

lol wtf

Jim Ramsey passed away. Anyone familiar with WGN in Chicago will remember him. https://wgntv.com/news/former-wgn-weatherman-jim-ramsey-dies-at-69

An hour is too long imo. I think there is a sweet spot of around 15 to maybe up to 30 minutes for warnings. More than that and people's attention will start to wander away from the threat and will result in even more of a cry wolf problem as you alluded to.

You planning on being outside at 1 am?

2022 Short/Medium Range Severe Weather Discussion
Hoosier replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Been watching that timeframe. It has potential as you outlined. I feel like that Sunday-Monday system is a factor in this as well. Not that it will really produce severe wx in the sub, but it helps to get the process of moisture return underway into the region. -
Seeing the sun on April 8, 2024 is way more important than April 8, 2022 anyway.
-
^seemingly becoming routine in mid April
-
Precip wise, I don't think it's been that dry where cyclone is, though I got substantially more snow this winter.
-
Interesting observation on the lawns. Grass has gone from brown to pretty green here in the last week or two. I wonder why there is such a difference?
-
Saturday looks like a big loser. Hopefully the really crappy weekend days are limited from here on out.
-
It's also a banter thread. We don't have a regular summer discussion thread, so didn't know where else to put it.
-
Looks like we're going to have a Nina summer.
-
Sure, but the last 10 days or so have been pretty garbage for the most part.
-
Indeed. You got me.
-
Things are going to be changing around here. Weatherbell/JB have been negotiating the purchase of American Weather, and my sources indicate that it is just about finalized.
-
JB is on board! Though I might take the under on April 2011.
-
The system tomorrow looks sneaky and one capable of delivering a little surprise. The main questions are how wide the snow band will be and can it maintain itself into the afternoon given the marginal airmass and now early April sun angle trying to push the boundary layer toward rain.

There was an EF-1 tornado in southern Illinois yesterday.
