DONATIONS ARE STILL BEING

TALLIED.

THEY EXPECT TO RAISE $1 MILLION

FOR RESEARCH AND EDUCATION

PROGRAMS.

THIS IS A DAY IT WOULD ALSO BE

GOOD TO GET SOME EXERCISE

OUTDOOR.

AS WE GET CLOSER AND CLOSER TO

SPRING, WE HAVE A LOT OF UP AND

DOWN, I'M GOING TO DIVE RIGHT

IN.

THE EASY PART OF THE FORECAST

IS THE NEXT 24 HOURS OR SO.

THIS SYSTEM IS THE ONE THAT WE

ARE REALLY GOING TO BE TALKING

ABOUT FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS.

IS A COMPLEX SYSTEM.

THE CONFIDENCE IN THIS FORECAST

IS LOWER THAN WHAT I'VE HAD FOR

ANY OF THE OTHER FORECASTS, IF

THINGS PAN OUT, THIS COULD BE

POTENTIALLY THE HIGHEST SNOW

MAKER OF ANY OF THE SYSTEMS

THAT WE'VE SEEN SO FAR THIS

WINTER.

THERE IS STILL A LOT THAT WE DO

NOT KNOW.

CLOUDS MOVE IN, 32 FOR TONIGHT,

NOT SO BAD.

TOMORROW IS NUTS ABOUT EITHER.

I THINK YOUR MORNING COMMUTE IS

FINE AND YOU WILL HAVE CLOUDS

IN PLACE.

WE MOVE UP INTO THE 40s JUST

BARELY.

BY THE EVENING COMMUTE WE COULD

HAVE RAIN MIXING WITH SNOW,

TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE

FREEZING.

I THINK THAT WILL MAKE FOR AN

EASIER COMMUTE.

HERE IS THE SATELLITE AND RADAR

TRACKER.

THE COMMUTE IS QUIET. TOMORROW

IT IS MOSTLY RAIN.

THE ISSUE WITH THE STORM IS

GOING TO BE THE RAIN AND SNOW.

THAT IS REALLY GOING TO BE THE

ISSUE.

IT IS NOT ABOUT THE MOISTURE,

ALTHOUGH THAT IS A

COMPLICATION.

YESTERDAY I WAS LOOKING AT THE

MODELS AND I WOULD SAY THAT

RAIN AND SNOW LINE WAS GOING TO

OPEN UP HERE, AREAS TO THE

NORTH AND THE WEST WOULD GET

THE HEAVIEST SNOW, BUT THAT HAS

CHANGED, IT HAS SHIFTED FAR

ENOUGH TO THE SOUTH AND I THINK

WE COULD SEE SOME HEAVY

REGULATIONS ACROSS CHICAGO-KENT

AT CHICAGOLAND AREA.

WILL IT BE OVER CHICAGO?

IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN AND WE

WILL WRAP IT ALL UP BY

WEDNESDAY.

LOOK AT THE SNOWBALL MODAL

MODELS.

WE

CAN SHOW YOU THE MODELS THAT

HAVE THE HIGHEST NUMBERS.

I FEEL CONFIDENT IN THE GFS.

EVERYONE

GETS AN INCH OR SO, THERE WILL

BE A VERY QUICK RAMP-UP WHERE

SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SOME

REALLY?

HEAVY SNOW.

WE CAN MOVE OVER THIS, THE CITY

COULD SEE SIX TO 8 INCHES OF

SNOW.

IT IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE, SOME

OF THE MODELS ARE SHOWING

DRAMATICALLY HIGHER NUMBERS.

I CAUTION YOU AGAINST USING THAT

JUST YET.

THESE FORECASTS ARE JUST NOW

ARRIVING ON THE CONTINENT.

THEY GET SAMPLED BY THE WEATHER

OBSERVING START SITES.

WE GET BETTER NUMBERS IN OUR

MODELS FOR THIS RUN.

TUESDAY IS GOING TO BE THE DAY.

WILL THIS CHANGE TO A WINTER

WEATHER ADVISORY OR UPGRADE TO

A WINTER STORM WARNING?

THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN TUESDAY
