STUDENT WHO PUSHED FOR THE

PROPOSAL SAYS IT'S MEANT TO

CHANGE THE STIGMA AROUND MENTAL

HEALTH.

IN REAL TIME, A LOOK AT THE

WEATHER OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW.

DON'T WEAR YOUR SNOW BOOTS JUST

YET. AND ROB, WHY IS THAT?

WE GOT A LITTLE SNOW ON THE

WAY?

I FEEL LIKE I NEED A LITTLE

MENTAL HEALTH DAY CHINA POUR

OVER ALL THIS DATA COMING IN.

AN INTERESTING STORM TO

FORECAST.

TONIGHT WE WILL BE DEALING WITH

LAKE EFFECT SNOW.

THAT SHOULDN'T CAUSE MUCH IN

THE WAY OF ACCUMULATION,

ALTHOUGH HELLO TESTING FOR

LOCATIONS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF

THE CITY, OR PERHAPS INTO LAKE

COUNTY. IT'S THE NEXT TWO DAYS

THAT REALLY OUTLINE WHAT IS

GOING TO BE A WINTER STORM

FURTHER TO THE SOUTH.

FOR US, IT'S GOING TO BE MORE

OF A NUISANCE SNOW.

LATE TOMORROW NIGHT, BY THE WAY

ONE TO TWO INCHES TOMORROW

MORNING, THAT WOULD BE BY

THURSDAY MORNING, WE CAN SEE

WANTED TO AND THEN WHEN YOU

LOOK TO THURSDAY YOU CAN SEE AN

ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2 INCHES.

THE SYSTEM IS JUST NOW GETTING

STARTED AND EVERY NEW BIT OF

DATA THAT COMES IN, WE TALK

ABOUT THE COMPUTER MODELS.

A LOT OF THEM FOR THE SYSTEM

HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH, BACK

AND FORTH COME UP AND DOWN AND

YOU REALLY HAVE TO SORT THROUGH

A LOT OF THE NOISE AND DATA TO

COME UP WITH THE FORECAST THAT

I THINK HAS BEEN PRETTY GOOD SO

FAR.

LET TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS

WITH THIS.

WINTER STORM WARNINGS ARE

POSTED THERE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE

THE WINTER STORM WARNINGS, OR

AT THIS POINT EVEN WINTER

WEATHER ADVISORIES FOR CHICAGO.

WE DO HOWEVER HAVE THAT

LAKESHORE FLOOD ADVISORY IS

GOING TO STAY IN PLACE OVERNIGHT

AS THOSE WAVES BEGIN TO

SUBSIDE.

WE DO THINK THE WAVES WILL BE

COMING DOWN.

THEY ARE CURRENTLY SITTING

BELOW FREEZING FOR MOST OF YOU,

AND ALL OF YOU.

WE HAVE A COLD AIR IN PLACE.

THOSE ONES WILL BE COMING DOWN

A BIT, BUT THEY ARE SUPPLYING

ENOUGH COLDER AIR THAT BY THE

TIME THIS SYSTEM SETS AND

TOMORROW TEMPERATURES WILL

START INTO THE 20s AND THAT

LAKE EFFECT SNOW, OR AT LEAST

LIKE ENHANCEMENT COULD HAVE AN

IMPACT ON THE NEXT SYSTEM THAT

ARRIVES.

MOST OF YOUR DAY TOMORROW YOU

DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE

SNOW, THAT'S GOOD NEWS.

INCLUDING YOUR MORNING COMMUTE,

ALTHOUGH A LITTLE LAKE EFFECT

COULD BE POSSIBLE.

IT'S THE EVENING WE EXPECT THIS

NOTICE THAT IN.

I WILL SEE YOU ON SATELLITE

RADAR TRACKER AGAIN.

HERE IS 5:06, THE MODELS HAVE

BEEN BACK AND FORTH ON WHETHER

THIS WILL BE ARRIVING AND I

STILL THINK THE BETTER CHANCE

IS GOING TO BE FOR NORTHWEST

INDIANA TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH

THIS DURING THE LATTER HALF OF

THE COMMUTE.

WATCH FOR THAT.

AND I THINK ALSO THESE ARE THE

LOCATIONS THAT HAVE TO DEAL

WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME

HIGHER ACCUMULATIONS.

ONE OF THE REASONS WHY AND ONE

OF THE REASONS WHY THINK THE

MODELS UP AND ALL OVER THE

PLACE IS BECAUSE THE LEAK IS

RELATIVELY WARM, EVEN FOR THIS

TIME OF YEAR.

WE HAVE LESS THAN 5% COVERAGE

OF THE LAKE ICE HERE.

THAT'S ENOUGH THAT THE LEAK

COULD BE PICKING UP SOME

ADDITIONAL MOISTURE AND WE MAY

BE ADDING TO SOME LIKE

ENHANCEMENT.

NOTICE THE MODELS PICKING IT UP

NOW FOR EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.

SOME OF THE MODELS ARE REALLY

RAMPING UP INTO THURSDAY

AFTERNOON, THIS NEWER MODEL

RUN, MAYBE NOT SO MUCH.

AS WE PUT TOGETHER FOR OUR

SNOWFALL FORECASTS, AND I

HAVEN'T CHANGED THIS IN QUITE A

WHILE.

1 TO 3 INCHES I THINK IS A GOOD

NUMBER FOR MOST OF THE CITY,

ALTHOUGH HIGHER AMOUNTS COULD

BE FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST AND

THE BETTER CHANCE IS GOING TO

BE THERE FOR SOME LOCATIONS TO

PICK UP MORE THAN THREE INCHES.

WANT TO GO NORTH FROM THERE,

AROUND AN INCH.

AND LIKE I SAID, SORTING

THROUGH THE DATA HAS BEEN

PROBLEMATIC.

MOST OF THE MODELS SHOWING WE

WILL SEE THAT AMOUNT.

YOU GO TO SOME OF THE OTHER

MODELS AND THEY PRETTY MUCH

SHOW THE SAME THING, THE VERY

POPULAR EUROPEAN MODEL ALSO

KIND OF SHOWING THE SAME THING,

BUT YOU HAVE SOME OUTLIERS.

ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE NOTICED

IN THESE NEWER MODELS THAT ARE

PUTTING IN HIGHER VALUES AS I

THINK THEY ARE ENHANCING SOME

OF THE NUMBERS RIGHT ALONG THE

LAKE SAYING I THINK SOME LIKE

ENHANCEMENT IS GOING TO KICK IN

AND THAT MEANS WE COULD SEE

SOME ADDITIONAL SNOW FROM SOME

LIKE ENHANCEMENT LATE THURSDAY,

MAYBE EVEN INTO FRIDAY MORNING.

THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO LEAVE

IT WITH FLURRIES THERE, BUT

WATCH FOR THAT.
