Continuing Threat of Icing Overnight

A FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY continues for the overnight hours for all of north central Illinois and northwestern Illinois until 6 am Thursday, and for south central Wisconsin until noon on Thursday.  Good lift and a moderate low level southerly jet continue tonight to produce scattered freezing rain showers and widespread freezing drizzle at 10:30 pm.  Only light amounts of precipitation were recorded for the past 6 hours across nothern Illinois.  Most main roads are in good driving condition, but sidewalks and parking lots are very slippery.  Exercise due caution to avoid falling injuries.  The precipitation will continue in a scattered fashion overnight as temps fall a couple of degrees into the upper 20's.  Slippery conditions could become more widespread by the morning rush hour.  Be prepared to allow a little extra time getting to work on Thursday morning.  Another disturbance will roll though the area on Thursday continuing the chances of light freezing rain and freezing drizzle.  .....Eric....
