Chicago Storm

The outcome of this one will be very dependent on phasing and wave interaction. .

beavis, is that you? .

Continued on to a flip over to full on PL, and then back to RA. That should be the end of the transitioning for tonight.

A lot of changing precip types here at ORD this evening... Since precip began, the sequence has been... -RA, -RAPL, -RA, -RASN and then back to -RA.

I did have the first 1/2 of winter list ready, but someone forgot to post it.

you’re new here, you have a lot to learn.

new guy wants to consolidate the ohio thread with the regular threads.

This will be all-encompassing. Like I said, this is a thread I wanted to start many years ago...but it just never happened.

I have more lined up that are just outside of the top 10. However, for the sake of not jinxing them with some wrap around flakes tomorrow or weekend snow, will hold off on posting those for now. We'll start by easing into it, with the one below that Beavis won't be fond of.

The weekend storm system potential is another thread the needle scenario.

This is a thread I have meaning to start for years now, and what better time than now to finally do it, to start with snowfall futility. Some stats to kick things off coming today… .

mine has grown, to say the least. .

Speaking of that… .

Check out the 0-3km CAPE. This was about as thread the needle as you can get severe weather wise.

how big have your palms gotten? .

Have been wondering if there was some sort of MVC in E IA, as that whole complex has been spiraling on radar for a while. Upon further review, it looks like that E IA complex is tied to the vort max in the trough moving through. So when combined with the narrow corridor of 50-54 DP's (And the other solid environmental factors), this is probably why we have seen production with there and not much happening anywhere else.

There's a very narrow axis of 50-54 DP's that have been feeding in, and that was likely just enough to make the magic happen.

famous last words. .

so many poor saps went to iowa for today. kids these days. .

and detroit. we need more posters from mn/wi.

There is currently only a handful of DP’s of 50-52 in a very narrow corridor, from SE IA down into E MO. That’s not going to cut it. HRRR definitely taking an L on this one. .

4.7”* every tenth counts for the winter lovers. .

where are the good palms? .

Shaved a few degrees off the north end. In the end it doesn’t matter much, with the HRRR alone on an island. .

It most definitely took a step back with DP’s. .
