A-L-E-K Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 been getting some good updates from LOT AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL 106 PM CST THU FEB 7 2013 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 106 PM CST WE HAVE OPTED TO UPGRADE LAKE AND MCHENRY COUNTIES TO A WINTER STORM WARNING. SHORT TERM GUIDANCE AND RADAR TRENDS CONTINUES TO INDICATE HEAVY SNOW RATES IN ACROSS LAKE AND MCHENRY COUNTIES. WE HAVE HAD REPORTS OF UP TO 2 INCHES IN BEACH PARK WITHIN A COUPLE HOURS. A RATHER IMPRESSIVE SHORT WAVE...CURRENTLY DIGGING SOUTHEAST ACROSS EASTERN NEBRASKA AND INTO WESTERN IOWA...WILL LINK UP WITH A STRENGTHENING BAND OF MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS AND NEGATIVE EPV TO RESULT IN A BAND OF VERY HEAVY SNOW ACROSS NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE RAIN SHOULD BEGIN TO QUICKLY TRANSITION TO SNOW ACROSS THE CHICAGO AREA...MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 80 CORRIDOR BY MID AFTERNOON AS COLUMN COOL OCCURS IN RESPONSE TO THE STRONG FRONTOGENETIC CIRCULATION. SOME OF THE LAST AMDAR SOUNDINGS OUT OF ORD AND MDW...ONLY INDICATE A MAX TEMP OF AROUND +1 AROUND 946 MB. SO IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH TO TIP THE SCALES IN FAVOR FOR SNOW. ONCE THE SNOW STARTS EXPECT HEAVY SNOW UP TO AN INCH PER HOUR AT TIMES THROUGH THE EVENING COMMUTE. LESSER AMOUNTS OF SNOW ARE EXPECTED FARTHER SOUTH TOWARDS THE I 80 CORRIDOR. HOWEVER...IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME TO CHANGE OVER THIS FAR SOUTH...THUS 1 TO 3 INCHES ARE STILL POSSIBLE IN THIS AREA AS WELL INTO THE EVENING. so close but so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Perry Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Haha I can't believe this... Partly cloudy with a light SE wind here in Battle Creek. No doubt in my mind it will be all liquid here along 94. I bet 1-2" of quick hitting snow as the system moves through and departs. Yet in Hastings, 20 miles north of me, there's heavy snow, temp of 28 and 2" of snow and counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huronicane Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Snow and sleet mix here in Elgin, greater than 50% snow (null) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Lol I doubt it, though I think u kinda want it to be liquid for us. I am definitely expecting a mix at first. DTX sounds very on top of things. Saod freezing rain and sleet at onset turning to heavy snow.Wanting it to be... Where do u come up with this stuff?Anyways the WAA is in beastmode and the RAP is concerning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In St. Joe at work and we had that batch of moisture come through as zr, while half a county north they got slammed with 4" in about a 2 hr span. I-94 curse!

nwburbschaser Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Still all rain here in Rolling Meadows, so if it's snowing in Arlington Heights it must be on the south side of town. Edit: Changeover just started here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Parents are pulling kids from school. All after school activities in Kenosha will be cancelled. Good idea!
