Sunday Winter Weather Update

Low pressure now centered over northern Ohio and will continue to move across the eastern Great Lakes by this afternoon.  We're still looking at periods of snow throughout the morning and into the afternoon as wrap-around snow showers continue.  While snowfall totals are not expected to be all that great, winds behind this system have been gusting to over 50 mph at times...especially overnight through parts of Wisconsin and eastern Iowa.  Sustained winds of 25-35 mph can be expected with gusts to 50 mph will continue through late morning and into the afternoon.  Wind chills have already fallen into the low single digits and will likely range somewhere in the -20° to -10° by Monday morning.  Blowing and drifting snow along with the bitterly cold temperatures will be the main concerns for today.

Blizzard Warnings continue for Jo Daviess, Stephenson, Carroll, Whiteside, Rock and Green Counties
Winter Storm Warnings continue for Walworth, Winnebago, Boone, McHenry, Ogle, Lee and DeKalb Counties
