Not sure.  I know it seems lately we've been joking that when a certain storm gets into the NAM's range it will be go huge, and it never seems to anymore.

 

I know in the past, the NAM not being amped with a storm would also work as a canary in the coal mine, meaning the storm will end up not being very impressive.

That was before they fiddled with it.. Thus back in the day when that was the first to sniff out a nw trend.

Fcst soundings off the 0z op GFS for DPA at the time of the heavies precip. It looks like both the op and PGFS show 3-7" across the CWA. 

 

Op GFS has the slightly heavier totals SE and the PGFS has 7-8" across the northern counties away from the lake up to west of MKE

It'll be interesting to see how much the lake plays in.  I have a rooting interest in this as I will be in Lake county IN during this event.  Have been looking at lake temps and they seem to be in the mid-upper 30s for the most part.  Have to go to the eastern side of the lake to encounter readings above 40F.  It's a marginal setup thermally but those lake temps are not really anything to write home about.
