A WINTER STORM WARNING has been issued for the Greater Rockford area from 3 am Sunday morning until 3 pm Sunday afternoon. A developing storm system will cause snow to develop across the Stateline late tonight (around 3 am), and mix with freezing rain before daybreak. Freezing rain will continue on Sunday morning. The freezing rain and sleet are expected to gradually change over to rain by late morning. In the afternoon there could even be a couple of thundersstorms as an area of good lift moves across the Stateline just ahead of the surface low as it approaches the area from the southwest. The precipitation will change over to wet snow early Sunday night as colder air swings into the area behind the departing low off to the east. Another 1" to 2" of new snow may fall on Sunday night with light snow lingering on Monday. High pressure will take control on Tuesday, and it will be mostly sunny and cold with a high in the upper 20's.
