A major winter storm is expected to impact the Stateline with strong winds and heavy snow beginning on Tuesday afternoon and continuing through Wednesday afternoon. A BLIZZARD WATCH has been issued by the National Weather Service for Winnebago, Boone, Ogle, Lee, and Dekalb counties in the north central part of Illinois, and Rock county in southern Wisconsin. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY has been issued for Stephensson county beginning at 6 am Monday thru noon on Tuesday, and a WINTER STORM WATCH from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon. This is expected to be a dangerous winter storm. Before the storm gets started preliminary impulses will spread a couple of batches of light snow across the area beginning after midnight tonight, and continuing off and on until the main event gets here on Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night bringing the are 3" to 5" of new snow before the main event. The main storm has the potential of shutting down the Stateline because of an additional 12" on Tuesday night along with very strong winds drifting many of the area roads closed. The visibility will also be very poor.
