tuanis Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Looks like that band is staying in Cook County for awhile! The fetch is obviously interrupted. I think the band should die a quick death over the next hour or so. Note: I've been wrong many times in my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastFromTheEast Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Getting some flakes all the way out here now from that skinny LE band! Edit: Coming down pretty decently! Nice light dusting on cars.. Flake size is very nice as usual with LE stuff.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I think this is the right thread, but if I were in Indy and/or south and east of there...I'd watch this southern wave a little closer, that's coming through tomorrow night/Saturday morning.

Note: I've been wrong many times in my life Not done yet! I'm surprised it hasn't lost intensity since it turned more E to W. 1.0" reported in Rogers Park.

Chicago WX Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yeah, looks like we might get the splitski with better totals north and south. Yep, but the southern wave is gaining latitude. 2% chance it effects us, but I think IND has a shot at measurable. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Just the silly NAM, but the GFS has also trended father northwest. Compare the 12z NAM versus the 0z NAM, totals through 0z 12/30...focus on AR, S IL, S IN, KY, and S/C OH. Fairly different. 0z NAM 12z NAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Local forecast now has 2-4" tomorrow and 1-2" tomorrow night. 0z NAM throws a wrench into things around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Off hour runs FTL I guess, but it gives credence to my ideas...as wonky as they might be. But, 6z and 18z GEFS mean total precip through 18z 12/30. Again...compare, contrast...chuck a at me if you will.

Chicago Storm Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 The rare E/W LES band in NE. IL... Based on the below report from earlier, that area was likely around 2" before the re-organization/return of the band. If it can linger in the area long enough I wouldn't be surprised to see a localized area of 4"+ totals in NE.

A Facebook post from Tom Skilling that confirms your speculation: A lake-effect snow band at the southern end has parked since 1:30pm this aft over Evanston, Wilmette, Skokie, Morton Grove and Park Ridge.

Local 4-5" totals reported. Interesting. I see a few people from that area commenting with 4-5" reports. Might be a situation that needs a short term LES advisory? Especially since those amounts have fallen (If true) and the band appears to have stalled, at least from now. RC, I see you lurking...thoughts?

Geos Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Pretty cool picture from Skilling' FB page of the lake clouds over downtown. Just saw a report of 5" in Glenview with snow still falling! Looks like the band might reorientate again. Pointing WNW now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
