4pm Update...

The Winter Weather Advisory remains in-effect for most of the Stateline viewing area until 10am tomorrow, and until 6am for Stephenson, Jo Daviess, Carroll, and Whiteside counties. The official NWS forecast is calling for 2-4" of snow in most of the advisory area, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some higher totals. I saw a report of 7" of new snow in Buchanan county, Iowa (which is about 40 miles due west of Dubuque). Even though I don't think we'll see totals quite that high this far east, I take this as evidence that some of us could see 5" totals here.

The radar is showing a band of heavier snow that will move through the greater Rockford area around 5pm, so use extra caution and allow extra time during your afternoon/evening commute! Some light freezing drizzle and fog are expected after 2am as moisture and temperatures increase. This could pose an icy problem for bridges, overpasses, and secondary roads during your morning commute.
