East side of the city is getting slammed with TSSN (ton of lightning on tracker, and per my mom). Yea saw some lightning a few times. I was expecting more rain here on east side but its been all snow and been coming down for 4 hours now. Nothing significant but definitly a pleasant surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had a primary low bomb out and track directly over Cook county into a stale antecedent airmass. Even if the lake were frozen over, that would still be a rainstorm outside of the preliminary WAA, which is exactly what happened. Exactly. Being directly under the surface low when it hasn’t fully occluded is never great. Maybe a clipper, bit a major southern stream system is going to be warm in the middle if the warm sector hasn’t fully occluded, which was the problem.

I'd say this is significant considering we were going to get screwed especially us on the east side 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best case scenario, the precipitation tapers to flurries/drizzle before the warm tongue completely takes over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 24 minutes ago, KeenerWx said: This morning was briefly exciting, but rain throughout the day has eliminated nearly all snowcover. Unless a miracle happens with passing snow showers overnight, we’ll go into the deep cold with a bare ground. Even so, it’s been fun tracking the storm and watching it evolve over the past several days. Congrats to those who cashed in! On somewhat of a futility watch - if we don’t get appreciable accumulation in the next two weeks, will be slightly behind the disaster of ‘22-‘23 winter to-date. Nuts. Woof. We made it out with snow cover, though nothing like what was around this morning. It's a gloppy mess that is about to become a glacier. When the rain hit, it became some of the worst working conditions I've had in quite awhile. In the end, the morning was fantastic...the afternoon was horrific.

nwohweather Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Accumulations definitely at 3” here and climbing. Such a slushy snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalfy Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Came back to flash frozen car doors and wind whipped light snow after work today. No accumulations but man does it feel wintry out. For those in LSX purview here's the AFD: Expanded slight chance (15%) to chance (50%) PoPs southward through southeast Missouri and southwest Illinois this evening and continued the potential through the next few hours. This is being supported by low/mid-level saturation, a weak trough and a couple of compact mid-level lobes of vorticity, which are providing lift behind the departing system. Persistent flurries and occasional light snow has led to brief visibility reductions, a few as low as 2-3 miles. Accumulations aren`t expected to be much more than a dusting where light snow results, but it will be enough to create wispy art work (via wind-driven, fractured snow grains) on roadways, as it blows around. A few slick spots cannot be rules out, especially with the drastically cold temperatures and strong winds. Light snow potential will slowly taper southwest to northeast with most activity lifting out of the area by 06z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yea its a legit blizzard out. I always gotta remind myself to enjoy it because it may be the only event we get this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things have been rather boring for a long stretch locally. I’ll get excitement from the most average of events. Agree about the afternoon, though. I was only out and about for a bit and it was downright miserable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Several hours of solid snow late morning through afternoon added <1" to my snow board, so my board is officially useless. I'll just have to go with whatever the other Cedar Rapids area spotters report. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
