Once again the Euro manages to keep 0c 850mb south of the immediate metro, very different from last storm. Ratios will be very poor but this should be very heavy snow as progged. The NE burbs will do very well.

I made a final call of 3-5” for the city. That may still be accurate but could be low for the NW neighborhoods. ORD and northwest of there should be 6-10”

could find my way into a classic right for the wrong reason call if the euro is correct

12Z Euro deepens 8 MB in 6 hours, from 981 at 18Z Friday to 973 at 00Z Saturday. Wasted QPF, bad ratios or not, a storm of this intensity is going to have significant, varied, and dangerous impacts across a large area. There could even be a storm surge in much of New England/Long Island with that strong, broad southerly fetch blowing into the low Friday night.

HRRR says warm air for the win across all of southern Michigan and Illinois.  Not sure how much I believe it but it is a different solution for sure.

getting a low 970s bomb into your sweet spot in mid january and getting a rainer would be an all-time L 

we deserve better

18z hrrr real special. Explosive deepening and says hello rain for a good chunk of us

Only about a 350 mile movement on the slp location versus the 12z run, where it was making for Wisconsin via Dubuque when the run ended...

That 18Z HRRR gives some parts of southern WI and far northern IL nearly 1" in an hour toward the end of the run with the snow far from over. Sorry, south of I-80 (possibly even I-88) folks.

If you're trusting hrrr at this range the joke will be on you. Lol. It did terrible at this range with previous system.

3-5 for the city seems very low. Most model runs support at least above 6-7 for the city and the Euro just showed 10+

A watch for downtown and near lake areas seems highly questionable at this point. At least for now...

(Not sure if this is too off topic)

Didn't the NWS split Cook county into a North and South warning zone for Thunderstorms recently? And one would think there would be some split for areas near the Lake in situations like this.

18z NAM is a titanic bust for many lol. Have to think that the super warm December up north/lack of snow cover is contributing to all of these marginal temperature events. Basically a hangover from that.

You essentially need a lobe of the PV to come down and bring the real cold like after this storm, but because the PV lobe is lagging behind this system, it doesn't contribute.
