Not good trends for the Chicago area. In addition to missing out on the heaviest QPF axis, the ratios will be much worse, since temps won't be as cold. If trends continue, Chicago will be lucky to see 2" out of this, with temps warming into the 30s after the snowfall. What used to be a clipper parade has now turned into essentially one meaningful clipper...and now this one clipper may not even produce...and now the arctic outbreak next week is being muted. Not a good day for winter weather lovers here. Better in MN/WI. While these shifts are not too unusual 3-6 days out (and perhaps we're guilty of getting too excited too far out), it's still frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 This has Wisconsin special written all over it. With strong LLJ, there really isn’t a whole lot to keep the baroclinic zone from just packing it’s bags and traveling north. I’d expect the low to cut through Iowa in some capacity.

mimillman Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 If the trends are correct, would be a major victory for the GFS, aside from yesterday’s runs which had capitulated. Once again, still not fully buying this and I believe it will correct south some. Perhaps a blend of what we saw yesterday and today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimChgo9 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I will take all snow, can't do another "rain to snow"..... the cold that settles in afterward is going to freeze everything solid again. No thanks. the last one was bad enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Still pretty sizable spread on the GEFS. The operational model trends except for UKMET are what they are today, though not gonna punt this for northern IL. This synoptic setup is a tough one for the models to nail and some of the important features are in a data void area.
