They only bit on the consensus but not the far northern Ukie/NAM.  M59 corridor is not under a watch.

Yeah, this is still a long way out. They still have 00z to decide if they want to go north with it. I would imagine that M59 will at least end up in an advisory either tonight or tomorrow afternoon.

I imagine we'll see the southern 3 rows of counties in a watch/warning when all is said and done. Trend is decent.

9.5 in my hourly....no update on the map yet from LOT....but the AFD covered everything

 

I am at the northern fringe of that 10"-12" purple area, right under the "55" marker there.... However it goes, it looks like I am shoveling this weekend...Good thing I work from home... no commute.

I totally agree with their plan at this time.  Easy to adjust north if needed.  Currently why hype a couple 'lesser' models.  It will be in the news and that is good enough at this point.

15z plumes have a mean of just over 7" for LAF.  One group in the 9-11" range, another group 5-8" with a few below that.  Range is about 2-14"

 

IND jumped up a bit from the 9z run...from 3.9" to 5.5"

 

Other Indiana cities from the 15z run: OKK 8.6", MIE 6.5", FWA 10.0", SBN 11.0", VPZ 10.9"

Took a look at lake effect parameters around the Chicago area and they really improve by Sunday night into Monday.  Inversion heights aren't the greatest but delta Ts eventually reach into the low 20s, so there's at least the potential for a pretty stout band.

For MIE, it's a roughly even distribution between 3.5" and 12.5" with one showing 0", one showing about 2" and one showing upwards of 17". Kinda worried about temps as BUFKIT has us riding a 30-32 temp for most of the event.

I'm pulling for multi-band/widespread activity, before a transition to that main band.
