Hrrr bringing it up past I74. ILX was thinking it would mostly impact areas between I70 and I72 but some hi res models are saying otherwise. Misting here, not flurries. Might get a bit more freezing rain than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While not intense, I'm pretty impressed by how far inland they are managing to make it. Hope this bodes well for the main show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Will have to dig into it more later, but some signals that the lake plume could temporarily hang up somewhere around here tomorrow. Better convergence at that time as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueWaves Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 2 minutes ago, Toro99 said: Michigan offices are over winter. No advisory needed for widespread 2-5 You can blame "classic" far SEMI p-type issues per DTX Quote The better moisture and thus higher QPF values are expected to reside along and south of I69 with values ranging between .20 to .30 inches by the end of the event. Models continue to show a shallow dgz between 600 to 500 mb with a lofty "warm" nose down to the near surface, bringing about riming concerns which would lower snow ratios. Additionally, an elevated dry slot will also start to strip moisture away from the DGZ around 02-03Z through 09Z, which will hamper snow ratios further and may even bring a period of freezing drizzle. They're actually forecasting the highest accumulations north of the Metro (as per usual it seems). Shocker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluoronium Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Lots of lightning over arkansas and missouri with the snow and ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radtechwxman Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 This first wave seems like it is going to be a lot further south than models had it. Also the amount of lightning in the wintry precip in MO now is impressive. Wish that was here. I foresee the snow amounts being on the very low end of forecast. I think getting an inch at this point will be optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McHenrySnow Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 There's clearly a LES band in the northern suburbs affecting Grayslake, McHenry, and Woodstock (and further west). It's not half bad. Nothing crazy, but bursts of decent snow and lovely fluffy dendrites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have said "clearly a band of stronger returns in the general area of flurries/light snow" - there is also another band further south toward Chicago.

Dalfy Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Sleet ending in STL metro within an hour or so it looks like. I think they're anticipating some lingering freezing drizzle to continue into evening minimal ice accumulation. Overall I think we got around or just under a slushy inch, within their call. Got in a little jeb walk yesterday during the first round so I'm about as satisfied as I could be with this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
