I actually felt like it came nw. Has kind of a barrel double low then one takes over further east. Nam/rap/hrrr were hinting at this at times. Maybe they were right. The snow gradient across Peoria County is comical.
That stings a little. Just love barely missing a massive snowstorm and possible blizzard
Hoping hrrr is overdone with that warm surge. Or changes over sooner
At this point I would start trusting hi res guidance more over globals. 06z hrrr seemed to be finally in line with other models. Rap was still pretty nw.
Euro still not wanting to play nice for areas further south like other globals. Crush job for Chicago and N IL of course. Man this one hurts. That track on euro looks so good for here normally. Hoping maybe that warm nose won't get that west.
Euro so close to having me in better accumulations. I'm like riding the mixing line. Definitely going to miss the heaviest swath but would be nice to get high end advisory snow or low end warning criteria at least.
You and me both. Still holding a sliver of hope for maybe a front end thump and some decent back end snows. But unfortunately rain in between looks very likely.
