Temps tomorrow could be a bit of an issue, but using today to try to gauge what is going to happen tomorrow is not really useful. Totally different circumstances. Didn't say otherwise. Yeah, tomorrow we'll have clouds, but also actual warm air advection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I don't live in the immediate metro and I'm sitting at 36º. It’s not even that “warm” at ORD, which is the warmest site by 2° in Northern and Central IL at 35°.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of N IL has temps ranging from the mid 10’s to mid 20’s. . Right...but it's still annoying. Is UHI/albedo causing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you there is no urban heat island significantly affecting temps in McHenry or Lake Zurich. The snow on the ground is keeping us this cool, if the ground were bare, we would likely be into the 40s. Different story in the heart of the city, certainly. And that will likely be a big player into the accums in the city with such marginal temps as is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming LOT's watch will also end up an advisory and the rest of N IL north of 1-80 gets one as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. Seems like it's more of an impact based decision with the wind component since there doesn't look to be very many 6"+ amounts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Somewhat of an odd storm evolution - if you simply looked at the SLP track, it looks like a classic mid-west snowstorm but surface features don't really play out that way (looks more like a glorified frontal passage). Much like the last storm, models have been fairly consistent with roughly .5 qpf for mby. I think 3-5" looks like a good call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC said they are shifting more impact based, so with the wind/blowing snow/rapid temp drop factors, that may be why they went with a warning despite amounts generally staying under criteria. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, I agree more with an impact-based system, just not sure those counties will experience anything drastically different from the rest of N IL. The general public doesn't know and doesn't care about "criteria" anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
