The frontogenesis band setup a bit further north than forecasted. Overall though I think yesterday's weather event behaved pretty well.  Bullseye in BRTN's backyard [x] Snow in Mad's backyard [x] Anti-bullseye in Union [x] Map looks legit to me. I did measure here this morning and had right at an inch. I missed out on the good stuff. Only got about 2” |

Lapse rates are incredible ahead of the front here... but think the cap is a bit too strong for the metro. If storms can stay discrete for just an hour to two as they move into IL- watch for some big hailers  |

Cell in Jefferson County, MO means business. Could be some penny to nickel sized hail in there. Looks to still be strengthening and is heading right for me. Should be severe warned shortly.

Also, somehow it could snow Sunday...
I think after that we can officially close the books.
Saturday morning could be record cold if we get any snow.

That cell is heading straight for me gonna get rough here in 15-20 mins...
Still some nickel sized hail possible in that puppy and it doesn't look like it wants to weaken.

It just keeps on strengthening as it approaches. This looks like a dozy. Gonna have to log to make sure my PC doesn't get zapped from any power surge. I'll let you all know what happened in the morning.

So severe threat has shifted further southeast? Not too much here today?

Last night was one of the loudest and most electrical storms I have ever seen. Also had quarter size hail at willot and Spencer. It was intense around midnight.

Latest SPC convective outlook shifts severe probabilities farther west with the metro east now under slight risk with marginal for most of the rest of the area. The Enhanced risk has also shifted closer to the southeastern southern edge of the area. The tornado risk was bumped up the most especially for southeastern Illinois into Indiana and western Kentucky/far southern Missouri.

it came down pretty good in our neck of the woods around 12:15 through 12:45am. It was enough to get the dog pretty riled up (luckily all 3 kids slept through it like champs  ) I won't lie, I'm very very done with this pattern. I love winter.......during winter. The 5 year old in the house needs some outside-time that isn't muddy, with standing water all over the yard and neighborhood park, and 35, 40 degrees. We need some 55-65 temps and a LITTLE bit of sunshine. I'll take this weather again coming up next November. Sorry, I don't get excited about a dusting to a half-inch of sloppy snow/sleet on top of mud and standing puddles, nahhh. |

Didn't do anything in my area overnight as far as I was aware. Today looks to just miss me to the south again. Ugh!!!! Hope the better risk area gets shoved even further northwest this afternoon. But I highly doubt it...

Falling in line with what Chris was saying in his live feed at about midnight lastnight... if it continues to slow down the entire metro will be under the gun for some sort of severe. Obviously the further west you go the more likely to me much more severe.

The only way i wld appreciate severe wx...if it hails so bad that i get insurance coverage on new siding or high winds peel it off (happened to my neighbors abt 15 years ago). Otherwise enjoy your severe. Pretty crazy wx l8ly. Thinking May is going to be quite a tornado season. Heck, we could see an active season well into June. A few years ago we were sitting outside waiting for fireworks at Delmar and the tornado sirens went off. This could very well be another one of those kind of seasons.

Areas along and east of I-55/I-44 could pop 70 degrees today per the NAM and HRRR with some peaks of sun around lunchtime. If we can get some sun and reach the upper 60s/low 70s we'll be in trouble. Love how we'll have to change hats again to a Winter forecasting one late week into the weekend. It's been a week of multiple weather themed hats, I'm running out of space on my bald head... See what I dd there? |

Severe Warning just raised for Monroe and St. Clair counties in IL. ? mmm... my wx radio didn’t go off. Edit: whoops, that’s because I turned it off with all the flooding warnings going off, my bad. I think I need a sign on it in red letters to turn back on! |

Have growing concerns about potential for significant severe for areas southeast of metro. STL. HRRR is emphatic that warm air will surge up into the southeast metro today...with simulated radar showing a broken line of super cell like storms with multiple UH tracks forming...within a shear rich environment. Sig tors ans super cell values...along with various shear parameters support severe...possibly tornadic storms...roughly near and southeast of the Kaskaskia River after 2pm.
