ALERTS: The National Weather Service placed most of northern Illinois, Winnebago, Boone, Ogle, Lee, McHenry, DeKalb, Carroll, and Whiteside Counties, under a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY. This will be in place from 2PM to midnight.
TIMELINE: The big headline for the morning drive, patchy dense freezing fog. Along with low visibility, this could result in a few slick spots. Please use extra caution if traveling this morning.
On the flip side, the rest of the morning will end up dry under mostly cloudy skies. It's not until we get into the early afternoon hours where scattered light snow will be pushing in from the west. Snow will linger into the late evening hours and likely wrap up entirely by the midnight hour.
HOW MUCH: Fortunately, this will NOT be nearly as impactful as the weekend winter storm, but
most locations will see between 1-3" of fresh powder. This will be a much lighter and fluffier snow,
with snow ratios closer to 15-20:1, rather than the 11-12:1 we saw with the winter storm Saturday. Now, with surface temperatures already cold,
anything that falls will likely stick onto roadways.
COLD THAT FOLLOWS: High temperatures today will peak in the low 20s. Same for Tuesday. Forecast models then show a cold front sliding through during the day on Wednesday. With it will come the chance for a few flurries and snow showers. However, we do see much colder air filter in behind it, leaving lows Wednesday night near 0 degrees and afternoon highs Thursday in the lower teens.
