A-L-E-K Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I don't think we will. Radar orientation looks more south to north. It may clip is, but nothing exciting. I am liking the fact though that this is definitely north of modeling. MKE about to get some. IDK it looks like those returns are pushing up into Cook Co. Gone over to all -SN downtown now but it's much too light to stick. Banded vs showery nature very clear. Also, Im not sure if it's north of modeling...MKE has been modeled all along to get snow and the RAP which appears to be doing ok still only get them to .3" or so. That band will only get so far north before the movement of the systems shunts it east. I think the only notable issues is the WAA was a little early to the party (not unheard of) making it appear north...it's going to pivot southeast.

Well, it certainly appears healthier up that way on radar than what I expected to see this morning, which can't be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the modeling appears to have a good handle. Surface/700/850 lows are all right in line with the 6z NAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Rip city here, absolutely pouring snow. I got plastered walking half a mile. About 0.5" and maybe a smidgen more, with these rates we're entering winter storm mode quick. Roads and sidewalks covered. 0.5 mile visibility at MSN.

Chitown Storm Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 first 'main' line about to roll thru. Sky turning very dark out west. Looks like new returns filling in west and south. I think most of the LOT is going to be in the money for a while. Things setting up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 -RN at Peoria, -SN at Springfield at 7:00am. That's...different. Running ahead of the 6z NAM in temps here so far...which gets LAF into the low 40's this afternoon. Then of course, it does this...as the low wraps up a bit farther west.

A-L-E-K Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Looks like a little piece then a short break and some heavier stuff gets in here. continues to fill in. We've finally progressed to non-pathetic light snow. Still not sticking but all surfaces in the Loop are well treated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temps should crash when it matters. 12z NAM is pretty interesting for central IN. This isn't all snow, but a good bit of it is...hopefully it has a clue.
