Beware the Ides of March (and into the 16th)
Chicago Storm replied to Hoosier's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
I'd just about totally discount the FZRA threat, and I'm not big on the sleet potential either. Probably will be a mostly snow or rain event. -

Spring 2021 Medium/Long Range Discussion
Chicago Storm replied to madwx's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Looks like the question isn’t if it’s going to snow Sun night-Mon, but how much... . -
Parts of the area had 50-60MPH wind gusts last night. Peaks were 60MPH at UGN and 55MPH at ORD. .
-
69 at ORD. Tied the record high for the date (1974). .
-
that’s not how it works. .
-
that was literally answered in his post. .
-
The HRRR has done very well since we flipped to the milder pattern. Has hit on just about every warmer day thus far around here. So I’d say ride it... .
-
GFS upgrade is still scheduled for March 17th, per latest update. .
-
NWS is sliding further into the dumpster as time goes on. .
-
59 at ORD and 60 at MDW today. Early-mid next week will easily top those numbers, but currently warmest since mid-November. .

Down to 4” snow depth at RFD and 5” at ORD, with outlying areas across N IL still in the 6-9” range. That should all vanish the next two days, with temps into the 50’s, and also DP’s into the 40’s today and even the 50’s for a time tomorrow. .

With no additional snowfall accumulation expected in the final days of the month, February 2021 will finish as the 9th snowiest February on record for Chicago... Top 10 snowiest February's... 1. 29.0" - 2011 2. 27.8" - 1896 3. 26.8" - 2015 4. 26.2" - 1994 5. 22.6" - 1900 6. 22.5" - 2010 6. 22.5" - 1967 8. 21.8" - 2008 9. 21.6" - 2021 10. 21.1" - 1901

Snow depth is down to 7” at ORD. That’s a 7” loss in the past 2 days. .
-
ORD and RFD snow depth went from 14” at 6am to 11” at 6pm. .
-
Rapid melt underway. .
-
Going to be a solid melt day today. Mild temps/high DP’s/breezy/good amount of sun combo should do work. .
-
Fairly good shot you see those 50’s and 60’s next week. .
-
1.2” at ORD yesterday. .
-
Mini void out there, with 1-3" just to your west and 1-2" just to your east.

The -AO has been around since the start of Dec. The main driver in the flip to cold sustained cold was the NAO, and then the PNA not being well + helped keep the active storm pattern going at the same time.
