Out of all the models to me it seems that the RGEM has been the most consistent with the rain/snow line for the past few days. Other than some backside flurries Thu afternoon this is looking like 100% cold rain for the QC.
Nice little soaker today, picked up 0.52".
Feels like spring with dews pushing 50 atm.
EDIT: MLI hit 57, which was 2 degrees away from tying the old record high.
SPC maintained a general thunder instead of a marginal on the 06z day 1. Still looking forward to a stormy looking sky late in the day, which will prob be the most exciting weather event of the month lol.
Don't remember ever being in a SPC tornado risk in mid January before. Even if the storms don't come to full fruition at the least the sky should look pretty interesting later tomorrow afternoon.
00z Euro has CR to Madison cashing in quite nicely, much like back in December. QC to Chicago points east continue the screwage. Hope for a bump southeast.
