Snow showers have continued to become more scattered throughout the morning as dry air has gradually filled in behind the low-pressure system that impacted us yesterday. Accumulation totals with these showers is expected to remain lower, however with a larger shower moving in from our north, visibility may drop quickly in spots as snowfall rates may briefly increase. Continue with extra caution this morning if you are heading out especially areas east of Winnebago County.
Over northeast Rockford not a whole lot is going on however it's clear we seen significant snowfall especially in areas with larger drifts. Across Winnebago county snowfall totals range from 6"-8" while areas with drifting snow may have drifts up to two feet tall or more! Drifts will continue today as well with wind gusts up to 25 mph this afternoon.
Across the region, snowfall totals seemed to have lined up very well with the forecast of 6"-10" with even an overperformance possible in some locations. Some locations to pay attention to are areas of Stephenson and Joe Davies counties where a semipermanent band on heavier snowfall setup late yesterday evening which helped some of those areas see higher totals near 10+ inches! Any other snowfall this morning should stay light with only a half inch added on to totals mainly east of Winnebago county.
