Skilling during 4:17pm broadcast:

 

"I think we may have a blizzard on the way...or close to it"

 

-Talked about the big winds coming down the lake...gusts up to 50mph tomorrow evening

 

-Labeled it as "major winter storm"

 

-"Could devolve into blizzard"

 

4-8 inches in city.  10-12 south of city.  3 inches in Joliet.  Nothing really west of Joliet

 

Wintry mix possible in the morning south of the city.  Changing to all snow quickly, will be heavy at times.

Not going to name names but I was actually accused of trolling by talking about the SREF. I guess there could be some argument for that if it was way out on its own with nothing else even close, but you can't really say that's the case.

It almost feels like people take this stuff personally sometimes. It's a weather forum and most of us here like snow but at the end of the day it's just that, snow. Whatever will be will be, and as usual, we'll find out which models did better than others.

A trolling moderator. Yep, that's you for sure Hoosier! You know a storm is coming when people start getting pissy.

Gonna be razor thin down here in STL City. NW cutoff is likely going to be ridiculously sharp with the insane mesoscale forcing some of these progs are spitting out. You're in it or you're not. Also -- worried a bit that the wind is going to get underplayed. That LLJ is sitting awfully close to the surface and with some surface/near-surface dry advection likely impinging on the west/northwest flank there's gonna be a mixed layer to contend with. GFS and NAM have been hinting at that pretty strongly.

 

Momentum transfer on BUFKIT is your friend!

Have been wondering what Tom is thinking. Appreciate his call vs the the 1" - 7" cop out from LOT.

FWIW he also thinks the models pretty much have this system nailed down as far as the heavy snow goes and if the heavy snow isn't in will/cook counties and nw indiana, it'll be darn close to those spots.

 

edit- changed to nw indiana. also rush hour tomorrow evening should be the height of the storm.  precip starts between 6am-9am tomorrow north to south in the chicagoland area

I dont get what everyone finds so funny, this is an extremely complex system and a little change could make or break your total.

It's just that every post you make is about you and only you. You couldn't care less about what will actually happen with the system regarding everywhere else.

The pivot and destroy on the RAP/HRRR is pure model porn. Just be careful not to get too wrapped up. Pay attention to that f-gen band out in C. Missouri. It's going to end up being important in the end.

For the novices on this board, such as myself, can you expound on why the f-gen band currently pushing across MO is so important? Will it play a role in saturating the lower levels? Or the opposite? Appreciate the education!
