Chicago WX Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 12z RGEM went wild, sort of. Especially just to my southwest. Agree with Alek that’s there’s going a relatively narrow jack zone with the fgen banding. Where, who knows… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherMonger Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Steady freezing rain now, just got back from Menards and sides of truck have a coating of ice. No buildup at all on pavement, probably salt the walks and drive wge. It switches to sleet/snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 15z RAP has to be absolute best weenie case for Chi metro. 4-6” from north to south. Been very consistent though since late last night showing 3-4”+ for the area 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherMonger Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 ILX late morning update Latest HREF guidance continues to support high probabilities of snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour late morning through afternoon, roughly along a Pittsfield to Bloomington line. West central Illinois may see 2+" rates around midday. No changes were made to the headlines or snow amounts at this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispus Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 No flakes yet in Peoria, IL. Rain has soaked into the ground for the most part, and I don't think we got anything in the way of ice (or at least, I don't see anything now). The winter storm warning still calls for 5-9" (since ILX didn't update it, as noted previously), but I've been entertained by seeing other site forecasts jumping around from 8" to 3" to 6" just in the past 10 hours. Meanwhile, I'm seeing people predictably complain about school being cancelled, since nothing's happened yet, even though anyone paying attention knew there would be a morning lull (though, I think most did think we'd be seeing snow by 10am).

snowcaine Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Liking the odds for 8" here in Toronto. Not too concerned with precip type here - FROPA moved in sooner than solutions that had a delayed changeover (eg RGEM) Wouldn't rule out a run at 10" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 1 minute ago, SolidIcewx said: I’m not a 100% sure it’s a good thing or not Yeah the cold has good and bad parts. Can help with better ratios (more to it than just that) but then there is dry air. I think your area is sitting really good. I am a bit more on the north fringes so I am liking the slight nudge north with 12Z run. It will be clear where the main band is going to set in a couple hours for us as the precip in IL moves into MI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
