Hoosier Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Not surprised to see that places are quickly changing over. I think that trend bodes well for your area too. Will be watching temp trends...hopefully the drop to freezing doesn't lag the changeover by too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I checked the radar after reading that post So did I. -SN in DKB now. 925mb temps already -2 deg C along/west of rt 47 so not too surprising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Radar trends looking pretty good for LOT imo. The NW side of the precip shield looks strong and is growing a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 As has sort of been talked about, does the quicker changeover have anything to do with the system being farther east and more cold...or is it pretty much precip. rates cooling things down. A combination of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Cold rain has begun here. Torching temp/dew doesn't bode well for much snow here I'm afraid. Oh well. Good luck to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Lol. It's large flakes mixed with rain right now. But it's definitely trying to snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Makes sense. What's your take on any possible lake enhancement?Wind direction is not favorable really for Chicago, maybe far southern Cook looking at wind direction alone. But more importantly, 850 mb temps are progged to be marginal at best this evening when boundary layer flow is closest to due north based on current lake temps. I think there could be a decent period of lake enhancement into parts of northwest Indiana (probably favoring Porter and LaPorte but possibly clipping Lake) later tonight as the much colder 850s arrive while wind direction is NNW.

TugHillMatt Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Geos is going to get 3 inches of snow because the snowflakes that fall at his house are 1 inch in diameter alone.

Hoosier Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 BUFKIT from various models suggests a rapid changeover here somewhere in the neighborhood of 22z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Not the greatest confidence in my earlier call of 5-7"...concerns are obvious with timing of changeover and temperature drop. Should snow hard when it does change over so an hour or two either way will be important. Knocking off an inch or two may be the way to go.

Baum Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 LOT Aviation update: IT LOOKS LIKE THE PRECIPITATION IN NORTHWEST INDIANA MAY HOLD AS RAIN FOR MOST OF THE AFTERNOON...AND POSSIBLY INTO EARLY EVENING WHEN THE MORE SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION WILL BE OCCURRING. WITH THE SNOWFALL EFFICIENCY REDUCED...EXPECT THAT THE 1/2SM-3/4SM VSBYS WILL BE AS LOW AS THINGS GET FOR THE MOST PART. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
