Rain/Snow continues this morning

Look for the rain/snow mix to continue through this morning with minor accumulations of snowfall, especially north of the Rockford area.  Anywhere between a quarter to half an inch of rainfall has fallen through the overnight across north-central Illinois but between 2-4 inches of snow has fallen across extreme northwest Jo Daviess county and into Rock and Green counties.  This will continue as the low, currently in west-central Illinois, lifts northeast this morning.  A little dry air moving into the mid-levels of the atmosphere may cut off the heaviest of the rain/snow leaving drizzle and fog through the afternoon hours.  Temperatures will fall back into the low 30s later this afternoon which will allow a few light snow showers to fall this evening with only minor accumulations expected.
