the hot hand was riding rainer a day and a half ago. .
-
Looks like all overnight guidance kept the area within the main snowfall axis, with obviously varying amounts. .
-
0.4” ORD, 0.2” MDW and 0.6” at RFD tonight. .
-
Euro still leaving the door open for even more potential. With the secondary wave and main trough ejection out of the West and another wave diving south from Canada…Better positioning and a more southward diving Canadian wave would allow for further develop a close secondary system and/or keep snows going longer. .
-
Slower, not south. .
-
Twas always going to be hit or miss. Out this way, parts of McHenry Co picked up 2", while many other areas only picked up a DAB.
-
Trough and wave ejection is slowing. Something we almost always see in these situations. .
-
Going into BUFKIT, using max T method has ratios ~10:1 to start and finishing ~20:1, with ~12:1 during the heart of the event. 14.2" total.

I wouldn't bet on higher with the lower level temps. Well inland, sure.
-
Temps are a bit ‘warmer’, which is not surprising with a longer fetch wind off the lake. .

False alarm. NAM is now in more of the consensus. Edit: To add, there were some things going on aloft that suggested it might end up north, but some changes as time went on made that not happen.

0z NAM gonna have Alek up in his Eurythmics feels. .

18z GEM caving as well.

You want consistency? The GFS has had Chicago in the middle of the snowfall axis for consecutive 7 runs now. .
-
PV lobe in Canada is the savior. .
-
You want an amped solution? The 18z NAM is yours. .
-
To add to this... If you're just looking at the colorful snow map, you'll be confused. Check out 500mb.
-
12z Euro is very close to being something special. .
-
Quality signal showing up on the GEFS mean. .
-
The 12z Ukie is more similar to the GFS. .
-
Not so much. A significant portion of the storm system evolution still occurs towards the end of the run. Also add in that some important pieces are not within the NAM domain as of yet. This is why you’ll often see it jump around more significantly compared to other guidance. .

i’ve been told i’m just an asshole that hates on people around here. .
-
We’re not in short range NAM territory yet. Then add in the NAM has been horrific for months now. .
