Midnight Update

Latest GFS model data in. Here is the trend. QPF values remain about the same at 0.65 inches water, and it has the precip  heavy both  in the morning and afternoon.  Looks to be all snow.

Looking at the GFS and again at the at the NAM  FOUS data, the temperature profile is trending colder.

A tough call-

I’m going back to my original forecast:  4, possibly 5 inches of snow on grassy surfaces in the immediate suburbs, less in the city. Less on roadways. Up to 6 inches in far northwestern suburbs. Precip ends about 10  pm
