Saturday Night & Sunday Morning: More Snow! A Winter Weather Advisory will impact us through Sunday morning. That's all in anticipation of our next clipper system to dump anywhere from 2-5" of snow. Southern counties can expect to get the heaviest amount of snow while in the Rockford metro, 2-3" is expected.Sunday Afternoon and Evening: Blowing Snow! The heaviest snow will end by lunchtime with light snow showers possible on the back end of the cold front. The greater concern in the PM hours of Sunday are the howling winds. That's why our western counties are under Winter Storm Warnings through Monday afternoon. Major snow drifts are expected with even near-blizzard whiteout conditions as well. This will mainly impact rural areas and will make traveling a nightmare.
Monday-Wednesday: Another Arctic Blast! Also with the cold front comes bitter Arctic air causing the coldest temps of the season--yes, even colder than early January's "Polar Vortex". Officially at Rockford International Airport, the coldest temp recorded was -18°F on January 6th. Forecast lows Tuesday morning are expected to be near -22°F! The winds will still be a dangerous factor as well causing chills, or what it feels like, to dip to near 50 below zero by Tuesday morning.
