GFS with a blow to ORD prospects.

How ya feeling about the 1" on the ground for christmas here? If we changeover even later than the 12z is advertising we might be only left with back end pricp shriveling up faster than my unit after jumping in to Lake Michigan on New Years day.

Ah just seen your post.. I'm going to need a few day of sun and some over performing temps to melt it down.

You'll get enough with this system, but I'm not sure it lasts until 7:00am on Christmas Day.

If you've got an iPhone or Android, don't forget to help NSSL with their PING (Precipitation Identification Near the Ground) project during this event.

Download the app:

mPing on the App Store

mPing on Google Play

And report the precip that you're seeing as it occurs tomorrow.

Make sure you close the app down with your task manager afterwards. Seems to be draining battery after you report constantly updating GPS. Just an FYI, at least on my phone.

So you think MSN may have mixing issues? NWS forecast is for all snow to about 20 or 30 miles E and S of here. I agree it will be close as 12Z NAM and GFS are both pretty far north.

I've seen enough carnage. Final call.

ORD: 1.5" 3.0" 1.5"

MKE: 3.9" 5.0" 3.0"

MSN: 9.9" 12.0" 10.0" (mixing issues)

LSE: 8.4" 12.5"

DBQ: 9.8" 11.5" 8.5" (mixing issues)

MLI: 3.8" 2.5"

FWA: 1.2"

SBN: 2.9 4.0" (LES included)

LAF: T

IND: T

I have no real clue, but it sure seems like it may be close for a time for MSN. If you believe the 12z runs.

I think LAF will end up with 2". Yes, swinging for the fences here.

Only will see probably .5" to 1" IMBY.

Question:

MKE... Rain because of warm lake temperatures or just warm air moving in from the south ...or a combo of both?

give low proximity...by the time MKE goes to snow their winds will be N or NW. Lakeside locations are going to be rain but the lake really won't have anything to do with it.

So lake temps only really factor in with some sort of easterly wind... makes sense.

Here's hoping the models are wrong and BowMe gets a foot :)

Only foot I'm getting is at Subway.. But thanks! Good luck to you! Some beautiful snowmobile trails out that way and some itchy throttle thumbs after last winters snowmobile season debacle.

I'm actually kinda glad to see the precip tick NW... North woods really needs a miracle or two for the big vacation week.
