Lake County SKYWARN Severe Weather Outlook 8:17 AM Thursday March 18, 2010
Day One - Thursday
LCS Hazard Level 2 (Fox) is in effect for west Kenosha county. Hazard Level 2 (Fox) has been dropped to level 1 in NW Lake County. Hazard Level 2 (Des Plaines) has also been lowered to level 1 in for the entire county and into northern Cook. River level should continue to fall and will be below flood stage in most areas late tomorrow. Best weather of the year today with highs in the 60's.
Days Two Through Seven - Friday Through Wednesday
Cold front moves into the area on Friday afternoon and will zoom down the lakefront first, dropping temps from the 60's to the upper 30's along the shore and the 40's elswhere. Complex storm for the weekend has not giving us too many new ideas. NAM wants to slam us with 9" while the GFS is around 3". The NAM doubled it's total from the previous run which seems rather odd. So confidence, which was a robust C-yesterday, has slipped back to D. Temps will play a big roll in how much accumulation we get. Good news though, could be back the 50's by the middle of next week. 3 day rainfall guidance (0.50" 50%). Snowfall, (1" 60%), (2" 50%), (4" 40%), (8" 10%).

Spotter activation will not be needed.
