Looking more like 3-5" for the QCA at this point.  Solid event overall.  Rates are probably gonna be pretty wussy for most of the event, but over the course of 18hrs we should build up a solid advisory criteria event.  

DVN going down with the ship and riding out the warning, which will likely bust for the southeast 2-3 of the cwa.

Been busy wrenching today, I always come here before looking at guidance to take the edge off of the let down I’ll have when I see all the guidance showing 1-2”. 

From what I’m reading, still sounds like a shit sandwich. Hopefully we can juice up just a little bit to ease the pain. 3-5” here sounds promising, for now.

I hope MKE knows something LOT doesn’t. They’re still calling for 6-9+ in Kenosha County while LOT is calling 2-6 in Lake County. I understand lake enhancement is included in the totals but this seems like a pretty big jump moving one county south. Going in expecting LOT to be more accurate and if it ends up being more I’ll take it. Just glad to get some white stuff down to cover the brown grass at this point but geesh this has been a rough slide even by our standards.

From everything I looked at today, rates should be good for during the meat of the event, the main burst from the late morning through the afternoon. Felt confident enough to go with temporary 1/2 mile visibility in the 18z TAFs (in collab with the CWSU), which is not super common for us to do near or over 24 hours out.

Forecast soundings are supportive of 1"/hour rates at times, so maybe the beefier looking sim ref output from some of the CAMs are onto something.

We did account for the possibility of some lake enhancement of the totals into NE IL, though soundings don't look particularly impressive to generate notably higher totals (and impacts). Feeling pretty good overall about the 3-6" range for the metro mentioned in the advisory.

All models now picking up on a band of 6"+ from South Bend to the thumb of Michigan... except the sad Euro.

It looks like they’re developing the system a little faster again and it’s causing a band of heavier snow to develop from about your area through the thumb and into Ontario.
