Final Thu rainfall tallies were impressive to say the least. Officially, 2.35” Midway, 1.92” O’Hare. This is the wettest calendar day in Jan since 2.29” on Jan10, 1975 and 3rd wettest on record! Wettest ever 2.76” Jan 12, 1960. #chicago #flooding @WGNNews @AlyssaDonovanTV 🌂☔️💧
SUNDAY AM: Accumulating snow is done, but impressive totals in some areas:
7” Lindenhurst
6.9” Greenwood (McHenry)
6” Wadsworth
4.1” Batavia
4.0” O’Hare
3.6” Midway
Seasonal snow now up to 16.3” in Chicago, snowiest open since 1978-79! @WGNNews @WGNMorningNews ❄️❄️❄️
6PM SNOW UPDATE: Official snowfall at O’Hare now up to 6.9” making this the heaviest calendar day snowfall in more than 10 years! Since November 21, 2015 when 7.0” fell. Roads are slick, allow extra time if you’re out and about. #snowstorm #Chicago
3PM SNOW UPDATE: Both O’Hare and Midway are now at 5” so far today. That’s a record snow for Nov 29, eclipsing the old record of 2.4” in 1953. This will easily be the heaviest snow in nearly 5 years, since Feb 15, 2021 (6.1”) with more to come. #snowstorm ❄️❄️
Once the snow pack gets established here it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Plenty of cold air locked in place through mid-December, biggest departure from normal centered over IL/IA/MO. Still several weeks away, but odds for a white Christmas are high. Brrrrrrr 🥶🎄
Impactful winter storm becoming likely Saturday into Sunday. Three major computer models ensemble fcst and probability of 4”+. Note, biggest snow ALL last snow season was 2.9” on 11-21-24. This one likely to eclipse that. #ilwx #inwx #winterstorm #snow
Stunning shot of the Haboob that hit downtown Phoenix and forced a ground stop at Sky Harbor International Airport. #phoenix #azwx #Haboob
I have waited SO many years for shots like today and I finally got it. My buddy Garrett hit me up a few days ago mentioning the possibility of monsoon picking up. So I threw the dice for a few days to see if anything would happen and I ended up getting a haboob of epic proportions swallowing downtown Phoenix! What a day!

Air Quality across the Chicago area is really bad right now. Of all major cities in the world, Chicago is 2nd worst! For those with heart/respiratory issues, limit prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion. #haze #smoke #AirQuality
I always look forward to working with you @JonHansenTalks! Great write-up on what’s ahead. Hang in there Chicago, better days coming! #WeatherUpdate #Chicago #SpringVibes
Rejoice Chicago, it's 20 degrees.
And the warmup is just getting started.
