IWXwx Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Banding starting to appear on radar to the north of LAF. Should make a beeline for our friends in the FWA area. If that band makes it here, it will be time for a Jeb walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 If that band makes it here, it will be time for a Jeb walk. You should do just fine. OT, but kinda not...Winter Classic on NBC right now makes for some nice viewing for the snow starved people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Doctor Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Lots of flakes falling but the size isn't impressive. The lake effect band made it here I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetjanet998 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 REA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL 1138 AM CST WED JAN 1 2014 DISCUSSION 1136 AM CST A RATHER STOUT BAND OF MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS CONTINUES TO BE AIDED BY SOME LOWER LEVEL LAKE INDUCED INSTABILITY LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND THIS HAS LEAD TO A BAND OF MODERATE SNOWFALL ACROSS NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS...WITH AROUND 1/2 TO 3/4 INCH PER HOUR RATES IN THE HEAVIEST SNOW MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF I-88. IT APPEARS THAT THIS SNOWFALL WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. THEREAFTER...IT APPEARS THE MAIN SYNOPTIC SCALE SNOW BANDS WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT SOUTHWARD AS A POTENT SHORT WAVE DIGS OVER THE OZARKS THIS EVENING. THIS SHOULD FAVOR THE BETTER FRONTOGENESIS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80 THIS EVENING. BEFORE THIS BAND SHIFTS SOUTH...IT APPEARS THAT ANOTHER 2 TO 3 INCHES...WITH SOME LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS UP TO 4 INCHES...OF SNOW WILL FALL ACROSS NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS. THIS SHOULD PLACE AREAS ACROSS LAKE COUNTY AND PORTIONS OF NORTHERN COOK...VERY CLOSE TO WARNING CRITERIA FOR 24 HOUR SNOW AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF 8 INCHES. WE THREW AROUND THE IDEA OF UPGRADING THE CURRENT ADVISORY TO A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON...BUT DECIDED THE BEST PLAN AT THIS JUNCTURE WAS TO HOLD ON TO THE CURRENT HEADLINES WITH A MENTION OF UP AROUND 8 INCHES ACROSS LAKE COUNTY...WITHIN THE PAST 24 HOURS. THE MAIN CONCERNS FOR THIS AFTERNOONS FORECAST PACKAGE WILL BE THE VERY GOOD LAKE EFFECT PARAMETERS FOR SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOW INTO NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS ON THURSDAY. A POSSIBLE LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING MAY BE NEEDED...GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR VERY HEAVY LAKE EFFECT SNOW ON THURSDAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Torching here, up to 34º on my thermometer. Might as well Deb it up, but best screw zone looks like IKK down to LAF...as we both miss the northern banding, and then the bands out west slip to the south later tonight/overnight.

michsnowfreak Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Nothing like a New Years Day snowstorm with a temp of 12 degrees!Powder wonderland outside. Round 1: NYE 12am-3pm: 1.4" Main show: NYE 10pm-145pm: 4.5"....Depth closer to 5" than 6" from a slight bit of settling...with a long long ways to go I remain adamant that DTX will bust for south of Detroit. They did raise amounts from 4-6" to 4-7" lol but that would mean I will see 2" or less with about 24 hours of snow to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
