You may need to keep the shovel handy for Chicago's weekend snow. Fox 32 meteorologist Tim McGill shares some model forecasts for the upcoming snowfall.
On Wednesday, 3.6 inches of snow fell and that was followed by .8 of an inch on Thursday. That brings our total for the month of January to 6.3 inches, or 3 inches below average so far.
We could close that gap this weekend. The gap is much bigger for the entire snowfall season though. As of Thursday, we have picked up 10.6 inches for the season. The average snowfall through this part of the season is 18.9 inches.Most of our computer models squeeze out about a half inch to an inch of snowfall for Friday. The models aren't in total agreement in terms of amounts for this weekend's snow, but they basically agree on the timing.
There is a real wildcard for our weekend snow. The setup for snowfall includes some dynamics that could potentially spit out a narrow band of 6 inches or even more accumulation. That would probably be focused near the Wisconsin state line in our far northern suburbs. So the shovel is probably more likely to be used in areas north of the city this weekend while you might get by with just a scraper south.that I have read and agree
