3.8”* .

Fairly narrow weenie band of 4-7” totals from north of KC, up to CID, and on into SW WI. .

After the initial period of mix to start last night, things flipped over to snow for a while. It then rained with the dry slot for a few hours this morning, and has now flipped back to snow with heavier precip/better forcing moving back in. .

Precip started as a mix here at home. .

you’re late. i already called that L on here. .

Don't forget the 7/14/21 tornado outbreak either. IA has definitely been streaking.

we care about your success here.

you’re running at about 50% this winter. the L’s have been hefty ones.

71 MPH DPA and 66MPH ORD.

a winter 21/22 alek style bad call.

MV enhanced for sure there… .

Seems fairly overzealous, given the environment ahead of the activity will be trending downward the next several hours.

Both S IA supercells have a TOG. .

One of the two supercells in S IA has had twin tors. .

Long track tor still OTG. .
