SchaumburgStormer Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Still sitting at 31, only briefly touched freezing today. The HRRR seems determined to blast us out here. I will be getting a tank of gas for the generator, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those areas on in to the main metro are out of the equation for decent icing. What about up here in Cary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dekalb over to Aurora and northwest Cook county get a several hour period of freezing rain. I'm less confident on how efficient accretion will be given the expected temps and rates but I'd think a tenth or two at minimum. Yea, we're definitely in disagreement lol.

Temps still in the upper 20's there currently, and might not go above 32 the whole event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 ORD and DPA can wet bulb into the upper 20s when it comes in given their dew points...ORD in particular may not hang on for THAT long but it will take some time to warm from the upper 20s to above freezing once removed from the lake and most significant urban influence. With the rates there will still be accretion issues where it's not that cold though...tough call for where more significant icing starts but it might not be that much farther W/NW from ORD. Ironically I still like the Detroit area and especially just N & W better than Chicago for warning criteria ice (though someone in IL probably gets 0.25" of accretion).

Hoosier Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Btw, temps have crept down to freezing in extreme northwest IN. That was actually modeled to happen in the afternoon with just some minor variance in timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoosh Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 ? Possible that LOT took down their start time graphic because this thing is moving in quicker than it advertised. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already down to 32 and still going down here at DTW. 29 at DET 27 at PHN those colder temps are advecting in nicely, dews are in the lower to mid 20s there too.

cyclone77 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Well, I got my sleet fix lol. Had two thunderstorms roll through with some nice CG action. The first storm was a 50/50 mix of freezing rain and sleet. That was the hardest I've ever seen freezing rain come down. The second storm was mostly sleet, with a little freezing rain. Both storms whitened the paved areas up with sleet. Back to light freezing rain right now, with a temp of 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Another quick video during the last, intense burst. The heavy stuff has moved on for now. If I didn't know better, I'd say these were summer thunderstorms on radar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetjanet998 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 although the PIA airport is at 32...just drove around the west side of the city...car temp 34.....not freezing even on my car that was sitting out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
