Saturday Evening

Snow beginning to fall around 7 or 8 tonight and lasting through the morning, probably resulting in around 4 inches of snow. However, don't panic because once the temperatures start rising in the morning the snow will turn to rain, so it will be all slushy and rainy for a while but warmer with a high in the upper 30s. Expect the rain to last on and off through the evening.

Tuesday Evening

The rain will turn to snow around 9 or 10 tonight, and then exit the area early this morning. Tomorrow the skies will clear and the high will be in the low thirties. Expect about the same weather till Saturday. And...my dsl will be hooked up on Thursday, so I can promise better forecasts after that!

Monday Evening

Another cold front coming through tomorrow will bring a little spotty rain starting early in the morning that could change to snow flurries in the afternoon, but none of it will add up to significant precipitation. The high of 40 will be reached early in the day, and the temperatures will slowly drop through the afternoon. High in the low thirties on Wednesday. Cloudy and depressing, perfect for wallowing in embarassment after Valentines Day.

Saturday Afternoon

Rain starting tomorrow around noonish. Should be a light but steady cold rain that will last through Monday. Sunday night will be warm as the warm front passes over us but then a cold front immediately follows and we can expect some light snow and then cold sunny weather until the next system moves through.

Wednesday Evening

Light bits of snow floating around this evening, nothing to change your plans around. Tomorrow will be very similar to today: cloudy with a high in the low thirties. Friday and Saturday will be more fun with highs in the forties.

Chicago Weather Update

I still don't have dsl yet because I realized that I owe SBC some money, but I am working on it and everything will be up and running very shortly and I will have the leisure to compose nightly forecasts. I am considering updating the format of this blog and have had some requests for picture forecasts from people who have no time to read a paragraph, so, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know and I will do my best to serve your weather needs. Thanks!

Monday (6th) Evening

Tonight this drizzle will slowly die throughout the evening as temperatures drop slightly. Tomorrow the high will be around thirty and we will get some two inches of snow after five. The temperatures will be in the low thirties through the rest of the week.

Saturday (29th) afternoon

Boring winter weather for the next few days. Highs in the mid-thirties, lows in the mid-twenties, slowly getting warmer throughout the week. Partly cloudy the whole time. I will make another forecast in a couple of days if anything happens. Hopefully my dsl connection will be set up at my new place in a week, and I will resume forecasting daily.

Saturday Morning

It will continue to snow throughout the rest of the daylight hours. Expect another four inches, most of this is lake-effect snow. The wind will pick up with gusts of up to forty miles per hour blowing all of the snow around. Be very careful if you drive. Better not to leave the house.

***Warning***

Yes, we will get about ten inches of snow over the next 24 hours. Snow will start tonight around six and continue through tomorrow night. High winds tomorrow will create blizzard conditions with blowing and drifting snow. The heaviest snowfall is expected tomorrow afternoon as the winds shift to the northeast and create lake-effect snow.

Tuesday Night

Light snow beginning tonight around 6:30, we will get somewhere between one and three inches, but this storm is moving so quickly that it won't even have time to dump much else on us. Tomorrow won't be as warm as I thought, sorry, but the high will be somewhere in the thirties, so put on your shorts and enjoy it.

Forecast Forecast

Forecasts will be intermittent and spotty over the next week or so as I move to my new apartment and set up my computer and dsl line. I expect a 50 percent chance of forecasts on any given weeknight and a 30 percent chance on weekends, until the end of next week.

Monday Night

Tomorrow will be slightly warmer. Slightly. Like high in the low twenties. Expect some clouds to move in later, and then there might be some snow tomorrow night, but it is a little early to tell. We will definitely get a little snow sometime between Tuesday and Wednesday night, but I don't think it will be much. Wednesday will be much warmer as the lower edge of this warm front moves through, with highs in the forties, but then the temperatures will drop again as the corresponding cold front moves through, most likely with more snow. At this point it doesn't look like this system will be as exciting as the ones that passed through in the last few weeks, so don't expect much snow or many thrills.

Friday Night

Please excuse the previous post. This week will be cold, sunny and sober. A large area of high pressure will be firmly stationed over our area for the next few days, which means that nothing will happen. Tomorrow will be just like today except colder, and the next day will be the same as tomorrow except colder.

Thursday Night

Okay sorry. I haven't had access to a computer for a few days, but I found an apartment. And now you are lucky enough to get a drunk forecast/. Excuse me drunken forecast. Tomorrow will be very very cold and sunny and make you want to scream. The last few days were fine examples of a very major system that had the power to pull lots of warm air from the south and lots of cold air from the north oh my god I am making no sense and will stop now very sorry I swear I will get my act together soon please be patient. Love Adrienne

Sunday Evening

I almost don't have the heart to give this forecast. Sorry that I ever promised sun earlier this week (I was blindly trusting the National Weather Service, which I should know by now not to do). We probably won't have any until Friday, and I can't even be sure of that. Tonight and tomorrow will be cloudy and sort of warmish, then we will have a horrible mess of freezing rain, snow etc. in the middle of the week. We might not get significant amounts of precipitation, but it will be enough to make things more inconvenient and ugly and sloshy and depressing. You will find yourself sleeping constantly and talking to your yourself or your cat.

Friday Evening

We may get a few little flurries of snow tonight from the very top of this system that is just south of us right now, but it is heading out of the area very quickly. Tomorrow's high will be in the low thirties and we will see some sun; but on Sunday the temperatures will reach close to forty, the sun will be shining, and hopefully some of this snow will melt. The next major system will move into the area sometime on Monday and will bring with it some kind of precipitation, most likely rain, but possibly freezing rain or more snow. If you build a snowman now it will have a short life and probably a lengthy and gruesome death.

Thursday Afternoon

Sorry I couldn't do an in-depth analysis of the storm. But anyway...These little flurries we are having right now will end by this evening,and then we have a few days of sunny boring weather. The high tomorrow will be in the upper twenties, and the temperatures will rise slowly through the weekend.

***Winter Weather Alert***

A winter storm will start slowly tonight around 7:30 or 8 with some freezing rain, which will turn to snow after 10. The snow may be spotty tonight, but will become more intense and continue through tomorrow night. We could end up with almost a foot after the Wednesday is over, and if the freezing rain is heavy enough it will have a layer of ice underneath. Get your groceries tonight if possible. In-depth analysis of this storm later.

Monday Night

Possible bits of freezing rain early in the morning, but then just cloudy with a high in the low twenties. It will begin snowing early in the morning on Wednesday, and continue through the day.
