More light snow on the way

The heaviest of the snow is now moving east of I-39 as visibility gradually improves to the west.  Slick roads are reported, however, across NW Illinois so be careful while driving this afternoon.  Snow will continue to end from west to east through the afternoon with flurries likely lingering into the evening.

9:50am Update: The snow has moved into Illinois and Wisconsin with heavier snow hugging the Mississippi River.  Visibility has dropped where the snow is falling, and for a time was down to under a mile west of Freeport and Lanark.  A coating of snow will found on sidewalks, parking lots and roads across NW IL.










7:30am Update: Sunday's snowfall didn't amount to much, anywhere between a few tenths of an inch up to two inches towards the Quad Cities fell, and today's snow will be similar.  Light snow will move into Northwest Illinois between 8am and 9am and spread east through 10am.  The snow will be light, however there will be a time late morning and early afternoon where a few heavier bursts will be possible.  Snowfall amounts will range from a few tenths of an inch east of Rockford, closer to one inch to the west.

The snow will continue into the afternoon and evening before turning to flurries after 10pm.  The morning commute shouldn't have any issues, but heading out for lunch you'll encounter some snow on the roads as well as for the late afternoon commute.
