ILSNOW Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 KLOT Update Through tonight... Heavy snow has expanded across much of the forecast area southeast of a line from Waukegan to Dixon, with very dangerous conditions unfolding for areas south of the Kankakee River into east-central Illinois. Meanwhile, a period of moderate to heavy snow with gusty winds will result in significant travel impacts into the Chicago metro through early evening. It is highly recommended that any unnecessary travel be delayed through at least early evening. The 850-700 hPa F-gen axis across northwest Illinois that was noted in an earlier AFD update is apparently playing a major role in shifting the heavier snow back north after guidance continued its southward trend prior to 12Z. The top-down saturation of this band likely acted as a dry-air barrier across far northern Illinois, allowing for quicker saturation and a farther northward footprint of the snow shield at the surface. A fairly expansive area of 25dBz+ reflectivity within an impressive jet entrance circulation and ahead of a sharp mid-level trough extends SW back to the Mississippi River as of 2pm CT. Given upstream trends and current snowfall rates in the CWA, snow totals were increased by roughly an inch across much of the area where headlines are in effect. This included an expansion of the winter weather advisory into De Kalb and Lee counties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
