Whoa, this thread died in a hurry.

 

 

yeah...looking like a pretty boring event around here. Best rains south, advisory snows well north. Kind of a dull no man's land. 

 

Well, it's been a fun storm to track. Very dynamic and anomalous. The problem is most of the 'exciting' weather is going either northwest or southeast of a majority of the posters in the subforum, as Alek said.

 

I use the word exciting loosely, because for a majority, exciting means either lots of snow or severe. Flooding rains and ice storms aren't my idea of a good time.

 

So in the case of this system, good times until it actually hits, then a letdown. It will still be a meteorological event to remember.

I'm expecting freezing rain advisories to come out much farther south than the current alignment of watches in IL.  One of the more interesting areas to watch will be the area around the I-80 corridor from north-central IL eastward.  The warm nose aloft looks substantial enough to allow much of the precip to fall as liquid so then the question becomes surface temps.  A degree or two either way will make a huge difference.

I'm with you Hoosier.  My point forecast for Sat. morning at present indicates light freezing rain for me changing to rain.  Very foggy at present...44 degrees with snow rapidly melting but still rather extensive.  Surface temps will be critical that's for sure along with any surprising action of the northern stream moving southward.
