Dude every model has higher amounts for ORD. Reasons you're going low???

 

Yeah really? I would not mind hearing that as well.

 

Unsure if anyone noticed but the forum is now running on storm mode operating status. Those not familiar with it i urge to click that link above. :)

Must remember, computer models aren't final solutions...they're guidance. 

 

Anyway, my preliminary calls are taking some QPF off the top...and adjusting the storm slightly north from currently modeled. I don't think either move is crazy, based off history.

 

In the end, it's just for fun.

Well you were wise enough not to include BTL in your call. :P  But your reasoning ( which you offered atleast )  seems fine.

You guys are right. I apologize and I'll explain:

 

ORD and MDW seem to be in a good place for the GFS and Euro, and to some extent, the NAM. I know that ratios are going to be pretty solid throughout most of the event, and I don't think we're going to have to deal with bl issues. I'm a little concerned with the 900mb layer (as someone pointed out earlier, there is some discrepancy as to how warm the lower levels will be), but I don't think it will be too much of a problem. 

 

Aside from that, there are a few things I'm worrying about:

 

1. Future north trends: we still have a fair amount of time before the main show gets here.

2. The 18z runs tend to be (at least in my prior experience) slightly further southeast than the 0z or 12z runs, which is a little worrying.

3. Dryslot concerns. The low passes dangerously close to the Chicago area.

4. Models may be overdoing QPF.

 

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not downplaying this event in the least bit. This will be the biggest event for Chicago of the season. If you go back earlier in this thread, I was one of the first to start honking about this threat. I'm excited for the potential, but I'm also tempering my expectations. Right now, I still consider 3-5 a good bet for the Chicago area, with 5-8 up by the Wisconsin border. Obviously, this could very well be adjusted in the future. I'm just trying to be responsible about my forecasting, and quite honestly it seems to have worked so far this winter.

 

I hope that explains any questions or reservations you may have about my forecast. I don't mean to be annoying or too subtle.

Good luck. I hope like hell you're right. :D

100% agree. I feel as though we share similar thoughts. 

I do hope though that everything works out for you in the end!

In a way, kinda.  Sort of a blend of the GFS, but leaned heavily on the Euro.  Even the RGEM/GEM look similar to the Euro, but the GEM hasn't done very well this season.  Having many of the globals in relative agreement gives me some confidence.
