Not much change to the overall picture. Snow has started to fly in the far N and W suburbs and will overspread the area in the next hour or two. Most locations will see 1-3” by morning and another 1-4” during the day tomorrow. Favored lake-enhanced areas may see totals creep above 6-8” by Tuesday morning. One note about the snow totals, though – it’s going to be a pretty wet snow and temps will be in the low 30s so snow should compact and melt pretty quickly. Snowfall rates will also be light/moderate and roads that are (pre)treated should be wet, but I would still expect some travel delays tomorrow.
The East Coast, meanwhile, is in for a major storm. It’s impossible to get the details right, but at this point if you needed a textbook model of a powerhouse Nor’easter this would be eat. The entire DC-BWI-PHL-NYC-BOS corridor is in the bullseye for a huge snow. The entire region is under a Blizzard and/or Winter Storm Watch. The over-under on snow in NYC is trending over a foot and about 14” in Boston.
