6"

Anyway, reverse weenie logic, but probably a good thing LOT is bearish on totals for ORD. Not that this is going to be a big deal either way...

This could be event that overperforms in some areas due to the banding potential and good DGZ. At least ORD got the 1" out of the way or else the futility mongers would be sweating these late shifts.

A tad early to rely on the RAP.

 

DVN mentioning the colder air is moving in quicker than forecast. Already 41° in Dubuque.

he texted me the amounts of it. Said he was going to discount it, did he?

 

The model had a 3" band going right through the city, and he did discount that. He said the 3" amounts will be for the north and northwest suburbs. It was weird because Mundelien was 1.8", while ORD was over 3"!

I think with the winds driving down the lake in several hours, that will help push this convective band off faster. 4km NAM nested run has Milwaukee hitting freezing just after 3am.

 

It's going to fall into the 30s pretty quick later this evening.

I'm not buying into that, and even though the RAP is amped up, its timing makes more sense.  It has us changing over around 7 or 8am.  That is more the consensus.  Never know though, I guess.

Already down to 38.7 F on top of the met building.

Skilling's RPM with 1-3" for metro area. 4" for DKB and close to 6" for RFD.

 

Well now that we are within 24 hours, I would trust local RPMs like Skillings a bit more.  Local mets still only going with 1-3" from Milwaukee south and back west to Walworth County, so I would assume similar or slightly greater amounts for Rockford.  Perhaps they will end up busting significantly.

don't be fooled, his RPM busts regardless of time
