Wednesday Morning Commute: Light Snow Continues

9:00 am Update: A band of moderate to heavy snow has developed south and southwest of Rockford from Sterling, Dixon, Rochelle, Creston, Malta and Genoa.  Snowfall totals closer to 2" will be likely today where the moderate snowbands set-up.

Light snow will continue this morning as weak low pressure systems move through Wisconsin and Iowa.  The snow expected today won't be as heavy as Tuesday, but visibility has been dropping to less than 3 miles where the snow is currently falling to the west.  Winds will remain gusty from the north with sustained winds between 15-20 mph and gusts near 25 mph.  East/west roads may continue to see a little drifting as well as rural and open areas.  Additional snow accumulation today will be between 1"-2".  Due to the light snow and potential for freezing drizzle south of Rockford the Winter Storm Impact forecast will remain at yellow.  Use caution when out this afternoon.  Main roads will remain clear, but wet, with secondary and rural roads still a little snow and slush covered.
