Tuesday morning weather update and snow totals

11:00am Update:  Going forecast still looks on track.  Light snow will continue to fall across the region throughout the remainder of the day with additional minor accumulations expected.  Winter Weather Advisories continue for the counties near the lake as there has already been some lake enhancement with some of the snow.  The area of low pressure continues to move through the Ohio River Valley with the trough axis extending northwest through Illinois and into the Plains.  The light snow/flurries will continue into this evening.  Remember if you have any snowfall totals, email them to: weather@wtvo.com 

Light to moderate snow will continue through the morning and into the afternoon.  So far anywhere between 1"- 2" has fallen with amounts closer to 3" and 4" through west-central Illinois.  While major highways and interstates should be okay, secondary and rurals roads could be a little slick so give yourself plenty of time this morning.

We're still looking about about 2" - 4" (at most) overall accumulation by this evening.  Once the low passes to our east the winds will begin to pick up from the northwest which may cause the snow to blow around a little later tonight and Wednesday.
