Pre-Christmas (Dec 21-23rd) Winter Storm


Chicago Storm
 Share

Recommended Posts

First time posting in here. Although the trend was not favorable for the western lakes last night if you look at the ensembles you can see there is clustering to the west of the mean, so I would not rule out a shift back west during the day today. Not saying it will definitely happen, but we have all seen this happen before. Regardless, a high impact blizzard is nearly a lock for the majority of us.

Here's the 0z EPS mean total QPF. Pretty much a carbon copy of the 12/18 0z run, interestingly enough. The runs between these two were more generous with the 0.50-0.75" shading farther west in IL. MI has added a bit, BTW, probably owing to the eastern shift/later developing tendencies.

The WSW for northern illinois is in jeopardy to be honest.   Good Luck the rest of the season, my trip to to chgo appears to be with limited fanfare and thats ok...hurricane season is right around the corner, lol.  The trend is definitely not Northern Illinois' friend.  BTW, this is why the hurricane center never deviates from their watch/warning criteria regardless of holidays or other subjective criteria, its all science and zero deviation ever.  They do have a "Potential Tropical Cyclone" package at their disposal for situations where it hasn't developed but has shot at hitting land.  Potential Winter Storm would have been good for LOT yesterday.  A high wind event isnt a Winter Storm and that's where this heading.

They'll keep it in place simply for "holiday travel"

Yeah...that's the ticket!

This afternoon if this trend continues, there shouldn't be a wsw just because of holiday travel....i could make  case there are more people travelling around northern illinois on a normal workday then during the holiday when people are sitting at home on their arse hitting refresh on this board..:D

This won't be needed, at least for me. :thumbsdown:

As long as winds are very strong & blowing snow will cause visibility to drop to 1/4 mile, there will be a Blizzard Warning even if only 1-2 inches.

Well that was fun. Multi-season final 48hr trend will not be denied. 
 

I will take my 2-4 and enjoy the white Chris over the usual warm and brown turd sandwich we are typically served. 

I think ratios will pull out 3-6” but splitting hairs.

Might as well just go with that for my final call across LOT CWA.
