327 FXUS63 KLOT 280810 AFDLOT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL 310 AM CDT Thu May 28 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Generally warm and dry weather is expected through early next week. - Daily lake breezes will keep temperatures cooler near the lake with backdoor fronts leading to cooler conditions farther inland today and again Saturday. - Dangerous swimming conditions are expected to develop at area beaches this morning and continue into this evening. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 310 AM CDT Thu May 28 2026 A backdoor front diving down southern Lake Michigan early this morning will lead to quickly building waves and the development of dangerous currents at area beaches this morning. A Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect through this evening to account for this. Onshore winds will keep temperatures cooler across the Chicago metro today (60s along the lakeshore and 70s inland), with 80s possible mainly west of I-39 and south of the Kankakee River. Meanwhile, a mid-upper level Omega Blocking pattern is taking shape across the CONUS this morning, with high amplitude ridging across the central CONUS and Canada centered between a broad closed low over California and another over southeastern Canada. This will lead to continued warm (highs in the 80s) and dry conditions for the majority of the area for the next several days as an expansive surface high also takes hold across the region. Given the light surface flow, daily lake breezes and onshore winds will keep temperatures cooler (60s to around 70) near the lakeshore. A surface low forecast to dive southeast out of Canada into New England late Friday could swing another backdoor front across the area into Saturday and accordingly lead to cooler conditions extending much farther inland, similar to today. A narrow ribbon of higher low-level moisture will extend from the Gulf north across the Central Plains into next week. The very dry airmass here locally should keep this axis well to our west, though a few showers may brush far western Illinois along the Mississippi River at times. The blocking pattern eventually begins to break down toward mid to late next week which could lead to precipitation chances returning to the region. Petr && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/... Issued at 1226 AM CDT Thu May 28 2026 Dry, VFR conditions and northeast winds are forecast through the TAF window. Winds will be light in the short term, but will increase to gusts around 20 knots before daybreak behind a front moving over the area. Lower confidence in gusts around KRFD. Winds will diminish after 00Z later today. DK && .LOT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Mountain & avalanche safety

Know before you go
Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any off-piste / side-country / backcountry travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
Carry the gear, know how to use it
Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
Mind the weather window
Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry, even if the resort itself is open.
Respect closed terrain
Ropes are there for a reason. Even in-bounds, ducking a closure can trigger a slide that catches you and others below.

FAQ

About The Mountain Top At Grand Geneva Resort

Where does the snow data for The Mountain Top At Grand Geneva Resort come from?

Snowpack, SWE, 24-hour snowfall, and air temperature come from the nearest USDA NRCS SNOTEL station. Forecast comes from the National Weather Service / yr.no feed that Snoflo's iOS app uses.

How often is the snow report updated?

Snowpack and SNOTEL data are updated continuously by NRCS (typically hourly). The 15-day weather forecast is refreshed throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- look for the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero.

What's the elevation at The Mountain Top At Grand Geneva Resort?

See the Resort Metrics panel above for base / summit / vertical drop. The summit elevation drives snowpack accumulation -- higher summits hold snow longer through spring.

How is "% of normal" calculated?

Today's snowpack is compared to the average snowpack on this calendar day across every recorded year at the nearest SNOTEL. 100% means right on average; 130% is a big year; 60% is thin.
