Two more rounds of steady snow before year's end

 6PM RADAR UPDATE: Steadiest snow has pushed East of I-39. But any snow that fell before developed a quick coating on roadways, so keep on the lookout for slick spots tonight. Further West, a few lingering flurries or light freezing drizzle may be possible through about 10PM.

Another couple rounds of light to steady snow will push through parts of the Stateline over the final 2 days of 2025! The first of which has been producing some shorter bursts of steady snow especially near and Northeast of Rockford. While not very heavy, snow is coming down quick enough to produce a coating on even the treated surfaces. Keep aware of slick spots late this evening if you must be out!

This first round of snow will last through about 9-10PM tonight, producing the coating of snow and slick spots mentioned above. The large majority of the Stateline Southwest of Rockford may remain on the drier side, but some patches of freezing drizzle may still produce isolated slick spots on untreated surfaces. Up to an inch of snow could come down where the steadier bands of snow linger.

A second round of snow will then arrive by 11AM-12PM Wednesday along an approaching arctic cold front. This will again produce a coating of snow, with most seeing less than a half inch of new snow. Winds will turn a bit stronger by mid-day, with gusts pushing 25-30 mph at times from the NW. As a result, falling snow may cause some more issues with visibility Wednesday compared to Tuesday. But snow will come to an end sooner, wrapping up after 6PM.
