    12km went one way, 3km the other.
  2. Chicago Storm
    Finished with 1.4" here last night/this morning.
  3. Chicago Storm
    whyyyyy do you post 10:1 maps.
  4. Chicago Storm
    *Far NW burbs. .
  5. Chicago Storm
    One of those are a 50 car pile-up on 90. .
  6. Chicago Storm
    2-4” reports in QC area. Talk about over-performer, and further north than shown too. .
  7. Chicago Storm
    Bigly changes. Wave is more consolidated, digs a bit more and has more ridging ahead of it.
  8. Chicago Storm
    Should come in close to 1" here. Looks like a solid DAB-2" for a good portion of N/C IL.
  9. Chicago Storm
    That trend died. Last few events were north/snowier.
  10. Chicago Storm
    Solid squall moving through now with +SN, dusting colder surfaces.
  11. Chicago Storm
    The environment today is similar to that of the environment last Thursday, for squalls.
  12. Chicago Storm
    DAB probably for both events for affected areas. Not surprisingly, the trend has been downward as time has gone on.
  13. Chicago Storm
    Seems to be a steady rise each day, but nothing exponential per say... Tue: 13,549 cases and and 380 deaths total. (+1,287 & +73) Wed: 15,078 cases and 462 deaths total. (+1,529 & +82) Thur: 16,422 cases and 528 deaths total. (+1,344 & +66) Fri: 17,887 cases and 596 deaths total. (+1,465 & +68) Sat: 19,180 cases and 677 deaths total. (+1,293 & +81)

    There's actually decent agreement among most guidance for an event in the area for late week.
  15. Chicago Storm
    Peak wind gusts of 47mph at ORD and 51mph at MDW today.
  16. Chicago Storm
    Finally ended up with one good squall later this afternoon. It featured a brief but solid period of SN, and wind gusts up to 40-50mph.
  17. Chicago Storm
    Yea, the most active corridor has run from DVN to Watseka, with the metro having missed out on the goods so far. Squall currently moving from Lee to LaSalle Co's has had a lot of lightning...even a hail marker with it.
  18. Chicago Storm
    Several 1-2" snow reports from some of the heavier squalls in SD/MN/WI.
  19. Chicago Storm
    Soundings for today across the area are rockin'... Upwards of 400 cape, low level lapse rates up around 10C, freezing level around 900mb, deep mixing to ~600mb, -6C at 850mb... Gonna be convective precip o' plenty, with +SN/graupel...and probably some +TSSN. Add in the 35-50mph wind gusts, and likely higher in the convective precip. There's even some inverted V soundings showing up.
  20. Chicago Storm
    IND G71MPH, GPC G76MPH.
  21. Chicago Storm
    Had a severe warned storm move through earlier, well behind the cold front. Ended up producing pea sized hail and winds up to 50mph.
  22. Chicago Storm
    STL hit 90 today, which was also a record. Not the earliest 90+ on record though, as 90+ previously occurred on 4/1 in a previous year.
  23. Chicago Storm
    Exactly. The event itself was definitely not a bust, SPC was a bust with another terrible performance.
  24. Chicago Storm
    Steep low level lapse rates, up to 200 cape, low freezing levels...has all the makings of convective showers, with +SN and/or graupel.
  25. Chicago Storm
    Wouldn’t call it an over-performer really, when some guidance had it nailed for days. More like another SPC bust to add to a quickly growing list. To think, yesterday afternoons SWODY2 totally removed even general t’storm into the RFD area. .
