Shocker!
Mild temps continue behind that as we close the door on February and blow our way into March. There’s another big storm system likely showing up late next week into the following weekend and it can bring a bit of everything.
Much depends on the track of this storm and the models, as expected, have a lot of variances with that track.
The latest GFS actually has two storms. The first brings heavy rain and storms, and the second brings snow…
The EURO only has one storm and it’s a doozy with high wind, strong storms and heavy rain…
Enjoy the rest of the day and take care.
Here is a link for the summary of the heavy rain and freezing rain event that occurred over Northern IL on Wednesday, along with some pretty amazing photos of ice-covered trees. At the height of the storm, there were 111,000 people without power in far Northern IL, which received the brunt of the ice storm.
