Although the main attention in terms of weather has been focused on the weekend, the holiday forecast today is looking to be very cool today. Temperatures will stay in the low 30's while gusty winds out of the northwest up to 35 mph will cause wind chills to drop into the teens today. Make sure to bundle up heading to your Thanksgiving plans today!
Now onto this weekend where accumulating snow continues to look more likely by the day. As of this morning, National Weather Service offices throughout the region have issued Winter Storm Watches across the state line highlighting the possibility of 6"+ of snowfall for areas highlighted.
Snow showers with this system will move in as early as 3-4 a.m. Saturday morning with initial snow showers mainly being light. However higher snowfall rates will move in by the afternoon with the heaviest snowfall lasting through 9 pm. Saturday night. Expect the worst of travel conditions from 12 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday!
As of now, confidence has continued to increase for the greatest potential of snowfall to make its way over Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. Snowfall totals may continue to change but with consistent snowfall at consistent rates through Saturday widespread and even heavy snowfall may be possible at times.
