Slippery Monday Commute

You'll want to allow extra time Monday morning if you're headed to work or taking the kids to school. A low pressure system near the Canadian border is tracking east and will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to the Stateline. The system will bring the possibility of freezing rain, sleet, and snow starting after midnight. The best timing for this to impact the Rockford area will be between 3am and 6am making for a slick commute. Overall accumulations of ice and snow will be under an inch, but up to an inch is possible, especially to the north and east. Even though accumulations will be low, the precipitation could fall heavily at times reducing visibilities and making driving hazardous at times.

Temperatures will rise through the late morning allowing for a mixture of snow and rain through the early afternoon. Temperatures tomorrow will warm into the upper 30s, with cloudy skies. Though most of the precipitation will have moved to the east, there is a chance for light rain and scattered flurries through the early evening, and then a chance for freezing drizzle Monday evening
