GFS in particular has been advertising a favorable wind direction. Of course it's not wise to go all in at this point for that side of the lake, but the western and/or southern end of the lake may have a window. Agree on all points, especially about caution being warranted due to being 6-7 days out. If a signal is still there in 48 hours, I will be interested.

Central Illinois Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 It’s currently a warm 8 degrees today’s high is only 12Sent from my iPhone 8+ using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Lows at all sites in northern IL near/north of I-80 except Northerly Island dipped below zero this morning (-1 to -6 range at ASOS/AWOS). That's pretty impressive considering it was an advection driven cold with the center of the high pressure well to the northwest and some cloud cover. Tonight the center of the high will be much closer, over IA, with 1040+ pressures all the way to Lake Michigan. While not a perfect radiational cooling setup, if skies stay clear, it looks like winds will lighten enough for colder temps than this morning. 00z MET MOS has -9 for ARR. I think it's fairly likely some spots go below -10. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoboy645 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Got down to -9 here. We are supposed to to hit a nice and warm high of 5 today. Tonight looks to get even colder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I am near Columbus right now. This area is close to its lowest max temperature of this calendar year. Lowest max at CMH since Jan. 1st has been 16, right now it is at 20. I am glad I don't have to produce a forecast for the East Coast this week. Euro and GFS say different things. That's not too unusual, but it has big time implications for snow on the East Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Depending on how much more precip occurs this month, it is on track to be the driest December at ORD since 1995 or 1989. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Made it to 0 in Minneapolis this hour, which will likely be the high. Bummed we couldn't spend the whole day below zero, but this weekend after the 1-3" refresher snowfall we may string 2 days below together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 -2 this morning, and only made 6 above this afternoon. Pretty impressive considering the meager snow cover. Point has -11 for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 HRRR and RAP again seem too cold with lows. A little bit of a stab in the dark given overall model handling but I wouldn't be surprised to see ORD end up around -8 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit it's fairly low confidence... a lot of how I came up with that was just extrapolating from where temps were at this time last evening. It's 7 degrees colder than this time last night which would put the low at -10 with the same rate of cooling. If anything, it looks like slightly weaker winds tonight (especially toward morning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Areas farther west are better positioned with regards to the surface high. I'd definitely go negative double digits with high confidence at ORD if winds go calm but that is looking iffy at best.

TugHillMatt Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 While many get below zero, Lake Michigan will keep me in the balmy single digits. It's also been giving us non-stop snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
